It amazes me how many folk building dams dont have a clue.
First they think running the machine over the dam walls compacts the soil or clay as it should be...no you need a sheeps foot compactor or similar...fail number one...but the worst is they dig a dam an it leaks cause they have not made sure there is a good barrier between what they dig down to ( usually rocks determine the bottom) and the water...clay is necessary.
And some of these characters think they onow it all...I read one book on the subject which compared to them makes me the expert.
They built a dam at the fire shed..a good thing...but it leaked and would they listen to a city slicker or take notice of those fancy books written by a book learning engineer...of course not...so the fire shed has a dam which does not hold water.☺
