Almost 200,000 Californians have been evacuated from their homes as a result of the spilling from the Oroville Dam. California authorities continue to try to repair America’s tallest dam, APA reports quoting sputniknews.
Lake Oroville, one of the largest man-made lakes in the United States, suffered severe flooding on Saturday that forced hydraulic engineers to activate an emergency spillway on the 770-foot-dam. The spillways, unused for half a century, failed to control the flooding and a large hole formed Sunday afternoon.
