I think there are studies that have run their course, nana, but without experienced mentors, and hard scientific data. Not the students'/new generation scientists fault, but experience kicked out a decade or more ago during restructuring? Still lots of experience and professionalism in Kruger, but dictated by managers, IMO? -O-

Maybe the remains look ugly or something...and the broken dams do hold some ghastly water slightly longer than a virgin stream would... :O^

(one can't really see the dam wall from the camp...)

How big is what is left of the dam? Is dynamite really necessary :-?

What about Alf going with a hammer and a punch (or whatever it is called) O** I don't trust RP with manual work, hard work =O: =O:
