The worst thing is that in the majority of towns and cities, the drainage infrastructure is so bad that even some heavy rain can cause insane floods. But with opening the dams like this, there was an example of a tunnel that was 4km and 6 lanes, that flooded in about 5-10 mins. people futher away from each end stood no chance, even if they tried to escape. Another example was that a dam was opened at night without warning to lower the water below the overflow limit, many drowned in the underground trains (they were not warned or anything), and many drowned while livestreaming. horrifying. The fact that these were manualy triggered shows how terribly their infrastructure is setup, making it far more deadly than most countries for this.

The 3 George's dam is so vast it has created it's own weather región which is constantly creating rainfall. In the rain season the stored water in the dam evaporates and falls back as rain around and into the resevoir, and ADDS TO THE SEASONAL RAINFALL of the area. That breeds flooding.
