Looking at the state of Minnesota's dams after Rapidam Dam disaster

Last month, a partial failure pushed the Blue Earth River around the Rapidan Dam, taking land and a home with it. That wasn't the only dam that failed. Two others had issues as well. Minnesota is home to more than 1,100 dams. So how likely is it to happen again?

I'll argue that most of the dams should be removed and then reclaim the areas for the riverside habitat.

And then the cost of water will pass gasoline per gallon yeah no thanks

[@garyhisgun192]

What is the state of the Lock and Dam in downtown Minneapolis and what would happen if both were removed

[@MarcMonson]

did you hear about the dam report from 2021 for rapidan where it was ~10 million to fix it or ~80 million to remove it? They did nothing

For a place that is not part of Australia or Africa, there are a lot of Ostriches with their heads in the sand there.

Ya look at the dam failures in michigan a few years ago. (Edenville dam failure 2020) Way worse!! 2,500 homes and bissness. My point is way to many in bad shape!!

Can't really do a Dam thing about it!😂

[@SilentWolfFarts]

Well, there’s a problem it’s up to the owners of the damage if the government doesn’t know when it will look the hell are you guys doing?😂😂😂😂

As a minnesotan in this local area where this is actually happening. I'll speak the truth. The state of our dams are just like the state of our southern lakes. Falling apart and rotting. The minnesota DNR gets paid to turn a blind eye on Dam negligence and lake upkeep. They even allow for city sewage to be dumped into all swimming and fishing areas.
Keep voting for Democrats, I'm sure that will fix it!!!

President Harris should win and have a party by a dam site. ☆

[@bradblowers6165]

President Trump will win and instead of having a party at the dam, he will have sense to show those people respect.

Rivers where never ever meant to be held back! Rivers are made to flow naturally. Nothing will be done, all the money will keep going to Ukraine.

Don't worry, every liar and pootin lover will be held accountable.

You know what we have money for? Social welfare programs and Ukraine.
