#1 75m litres of water a second

My sink can beat that.

I thought the dam's normal operating level was 175m when filled to normal capacity. So what's the big deal?

The dam is supposed to be able to contain up to 185m of water, and anything above that just tops the dam. So what? By then, everyone has moved to higher ground and can watch the show.
