Mosul Dam: Is it the Most Dangerous Dam in the World? [PDF]
Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, 2020 AbstractMosul Dam is an earth fill dam, with a storage capacity of 11.11 km3 constructed on highly karstified gypsum beds alternating with marl and limestone. After impounding in 1986, seepage locations were recognized. The dam situation now indicates that it is in a state of extreme relative risk.
