Dam damaged by rain, fear of collapse anytime
China has described its extensive network of dams as a way to prevent the devastating floods that occur every year. But in recent years, floods have killed hundreds of people and flooded thousands of homes. China’s large hydro projects are unable to prevent flooding, and the capacity of dams built decades ago is in question.
