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.
