Georgia Has Failing Dams And, If Some Give Out, It Could Be Catastrophic

It turns out some of those dams are failing and that their failures could bring dire – even catastrophic – consequences. That’s according to data the Associated Press just released and that GPB’s Grant Blankenship has been analyzing.
