Widespread dam failures in China

Quote:
YANGSHUO, China (Reuters) - The dam at a small reservoir in China’s Guangxi region gave way last month after days of heavy rain in a collapse that could be a harbinger of sterner tests for many of the country’s 94,000 aging dams as the weather gets more extreme.

Three Gorges is at severe risk:

If Three Gorges fails...Wuhan is in the flood plain. 400 million people at risk.
