They say it is necessary to bring the water level down eight metres to
bring it below the level of the damage to the dam. That is about one
third of the overall height.

The dam has a long history of problems with leaks and structural
problems and the reservoir has been drained before to carry out
maintenance work.

I
feel sorry for all the probably dead abandoned pets, so I'm just waiting for
the court cases to start.


From the reports, pets are what most people who went back into the area
for their allotted 15 minutes brought out.
