Thanks too to @andrew_barr for introducing me to @lis_bowman who explained what the dams above #Derna were for, how they failed, and what that did.

The image on the left shows what's left of the upper dam in #Derna #Libya after it failed, causing devastation in the city below.
This is an embankment dam - the impermeable clay core (brown) was supported by the rockfill embankments (grey).
