***** Right. With all the rebar in that concrete, you're going to get all excited if a piece of concrete larger than a cheeseburger breaks loose. Still, seeing the water disappear into a misty void must have been a trip the first day or two.

Wow, that was a crazy technique. I wonder what made them so confident that the massive water flow wouldn't cut through the cement where it's keeping the raft from going over.

Spillways are cement as well and handle the water just fine for decades and probably centuries. This technique is basically creating new spillways that are a little less pretty but have the same effect. Cement reinforced with rebar is incredibly strong.

I imagine the base of that structure is massive, much much wider than what we can see at the top, it would be not only a massive undertaking but also highly dangerous to work at the bottom, the only safe option working that way would be explosives but even they have their own risks and obviously you would still be contaminating the water...

Zach Coldwell It's no longer needed. One wind turbine can produce 7 megawatts. Enough to power 1500 homes. The two dams on the Elwha that were removed produced a combined total of 19 megawatts per year. The two dams can easily be replaced with 3 wind turbines.
