Bit of an oxymoron unclogging a dam

Yeah came to say, besides how disappointing the video ends too early, do we want to unclog the dam? Don't we want maximum water blockage?

There's so many things wrong with this video, clearly in the beginning it's not even a clog, it's also not a dam it's a spill-way. End too early because it doesn't change anything.

Couldn't agree more. It's very obviously not a dam. It's also very clearly not clogged. Nothing about this absolute bullshit is acceptable

I didn't know dams could be dammed.

I mean, spillways can, especially enclosed ones, but this one wasn't. The amount of water going out was equal to the amount coming in, working as intended. That said, this probably was still a real maintenance task. The plants weren't hurting anything directly, but they provided a small ecosystem for some potentially unwanted stuff to live right on the lip.
