A terrible pattern...

Apparently they line dams with clay to stop them from leaking. This is what happens when they dry out - I guess the cracks just close up again if we ever get enough rain to reach the dam.

Oh wow, this tells a story.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

it's getting too frightening ...

[Peter H]

Well, nice patterns in the meanwhile.

[Margo]

I remember those cracks only too well!!

[Jane Pittenger]

Horrifying

[Marnie]

I've seen this sight far, far too often. Very serious stuff.

[Marnie]

And yes, the cracks do close up with water.

@777margo Hi Margo - do they just close up again? I guess they'll need a lot of water to do that?

[Rob Z]

@golftragic LOL Marnie - I just read your comment after replying to Margo - so you have answered my question. Thanks for the info - I worried that the structure of the dam may have been damaged.

[Margo]

@robz Yes a lot of water

[Fr1da]

Really tells a story !

[Jacqueline]

It looks terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

Worrying so early in the season.
