Damn that would be a tough call. Whats scary is that if they kept the water behind that damn, could that added water pressure cause problems to the damn structure itself, ie give out? That seems like a damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

No pun intended.

Ah what the hell its Cinco de Mayo, pun away.
