Search "dam safety [your state]" and spend 5 minutes. You'll either confirm you're fine or discover you need a plan.
Either way, better off knowing.

Mullaperiyar Dam Water Levels Raise Concerns Amidst Ongoing Dispute
Water levels in Mullaperiyar Dam are below the top limit, but Kerala and Tamil Nadu still argue about its safety and who should manage it.

The Centre has finally ordered a full safety inspection of the Mullaperiyar dam, responding to Kerala’s long-standing demand and a Supreme Court plea. An expert committee will examine the dam and submit its report within four months. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/kerala/is-mullaperiyar-dam-safe-centre-orders-inspection-by-independent-expert-panel-dgxdn1ni?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Mullaperiyar #DamSafety #KeralaNews #SupremeCourt #IndiaUpdates

🌊 Modeling a potential dam breach — and how panic spread beyond the real watershed
This project assessed the potential consequences of a dam failure at a mine-water impoundment in the Svystunova Gully.
🔹 Reconstructed the original pre-impoundment terrain from archival topographic maps.
🔹 Used Sentinel-based land-cover classification to assign variable Manning’s roughness coefficients.
🔹 Built a modern DEM including the dam structure and current flooded zone.
🔹 Simulated dam-break flood dynamics in GRASS GIS — frame by frame.
🔹 Produced a video visualization to help local communities understand real risks (and ignore fake ones).
🔹 The results were later featured in regional media and used in discussions about mine-water safety.🎥 Watch the short video visualization:

“Libya has been reeling from a massive flood that left more than 5,000 people dead and thousands more missing. The eastern city of Derna was hit by a huge flash flood late on Sunday that witnesses likened to a tsunami, after two upstream dams burst when torrential rains brought by Storm Daniel battered the region. Satellite images show the extent of the damage..”
