I find the idea that Russia destroyed the dam to be very difficult to believe, for the following reasons (in recap):
Flooding disproportionately affected the Russian side of the river and destroyed Russian positions.

The loss of the dam does severe damage to core Russian interests, including Crimean water access and agriculture on the steppe.
The dam, while intact, was a tool which Russia was using to manipulate the water level freely.

the #KakhovkaHPP, a real detective story, which can be named "Who did it?" played out during a meeting with representatives of the security and military leadership. First, the incident was reported to the president five hours later without daring to wake him up.

Secondly, the leaders of the military bloc were unable to form a unified position by that time and gave the president contradictory information, ranging from a strike by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to technical problems at the dam.

De Dam bij Nova Kakhovka zou door de Russen zijn opgeblazen. Rampenplan voor regio Cherson treedt in werking voor massa-evacuatie. "Water bereikt over paar uur kritiek niveau."
Oekraïne meldt dat de Russen dit hebben gedaan. Hier de oproep tot evacuatie van het provinciehoofd:

Eerste week van de oorlog prikten Oekraïne in de regio Kiev een dam door om de Russen tegen te houden. Dat had toen consequenties voor 1 dorp. We praten hier over een deel van een provincie die zo groot als België is. Exacte omvang potentieel rampgebied houdt u tegoed.
#BREAKING: The Nova Kakhovka Dam has been destroyed. The consequences of this are going to be drastic and grave. "It would be impossible to supply water to Crimea via the North Crimea Canal" - Head of Nova Kakhovka district. #ukraine #russia #novakakhovka #dam #crimea
A map below shows potential flooding consequences down stream of the dam. 80 towns, villages and cities are in danger of being under water in the coming hours. It is unclear who struck the dam at this time. This also drastically reduces water supply to Crimea. #russia #UkraineWar
‼️☢️Article of Zelensky talking about Russia staging a "false flag" on the Nova Kakhovka dam. He states that it could endanger the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant by draining the reservoir it uses to cool. This is a global crisis unfolding. #ukrainewar

April, they mined the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, now they are mining locks and supports. The dam of the Kakhovka reservoir and the units of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station were under the threat of destruction. On the dam there are 2 military
Given recent $16 billion #SiteC news I want to explain this project as a business decision to build a rental house. Buckle up and grab a sewing machine as I pull this 🧵
My main point: any project choice is a trade-off compared against alternatives. 1/LOTS

What kind of house should we build? Hydro? Wind? Geothermal? In 2013 @AJWVictoriaBC compared the 2013 site c costs to a different renewable: wind. In 2011 a $7.9 billion site C would cost between 8.7-9.5c/kWh - but wind costs were about the same. bit.ly/3r5c44j
Since 2013, global solar and wind costs dropped dramatically, but the capital costs of Site C have doubled from 7.9 to 16 billion. (If you have current site C kWh costs, @ me) bit.ly/2NQTEG2

2/7 de finale had verloren van het grootste straatvoetbaltoernooi van NL.
Het was een dramatisch moment voor de jonge voetballertjes uit #Badhoevedorp omdat ze 8 minuten voor tijd nog met 3-1 voor stonden maar in de slotfase met 3-4 verloren.
‘Slechts’ de tweede plek dus.

These missions served to fracture and separate Aboriginal families and to indoctrinate Aboriginal people. Yet, the plaque does not tell these truths.

... members of DAM supported Casey and attended a meeting with her and the City of Joondalup Mayor + the CoJ Manager of Community Development and Library Services to discuss the plaque along with a newsletter article printed by the CoJ. This insulting and misleading article../3
Not sure how on the radar this is for you but the #Chinaflooding season starts in 13 days and it’s already a catastrophe.
An interesting analysis of the situation.

Casey has been working on this for almost two years and she has gone through all of the necessary processes and avenues, yet the Council has not taken any action.
So now her community will be stepping in to support her and DAM will be assisting with this local campaign. 2/4

One of the best seismically stable hydropower project was #TarbelaDam. Bcoz due to the pressure of water & sediment load the active tectonics got suppressed. Before constructing any mega #hydropower project, pre seismic zoning mst be ensured. Rawal Dam lies above active fault 1/2
Because #WAPDA didn't bother to conduct the pre #seismic zoning and even the post Dam assessment report doesnot address the active tectonics of the capital city! The authorities still living in denial that there is no active zone in the capital city!
#KoynaDam incident was such a case where no seismic zoning was performed & an #earthquake resulted in a #Dam break with a devastating impact and casualties. Dam construction can either trigger a fault or suppress it. Local geological settings must be assessed thoroughly.
