A dufus designed our dams to collapse when water level reaches top of dam
After spending millions why did they not design the dam not to collapse even if water level reached the top?
If that had been the case the spillover would not have the shock when gates are opened and the water will flow gracefully down unnoticed like the gently flowing waters of the Pamba
Selah
To summarize , y open the gates at all during heavy rains? What would have happened if the water spilled over the top?
If not properly fine tuned and planned, these reservoirs at a height of around 2400feet above mean sea level can also devastate the major revenue source of Kerala, Ernakulam District (Cochin) where Cochin International Airport Ltd, Cochin Port, Vallarpadom Transhipment Terminal, Cochin Shipyard, Kerala High Court, Southern Naval Command, Info Park..and around 40 लाख people are vulnerable to be wiped out. One reason is that Mullaperiyar dam is almost ramshackle and this masonry structure should have been decommissioned, maybe, 50 years back so that it does not act as water bomb on Idukki dam and the Ernakulam Dt. It is a clear and present danger, and a black swan especially during unusually heavy Monsoons. It is a complex dam. The rosy picture is a bit too naive.
Thank you for the vivid information!
