A recent viral video shows ice buildup on the Navajo Dam spillway, raising concerns about a possible leak.

📌 About Navajo Dam
Located on the San Juan River, a major tributary of the Colorado River, Navajo Dam is a crucial part of the Colorado River Storage Project, regulating water resources across the upper basin. The dam, constructed between 1957 and 1963, is a rolled earth-fill embankment standing 123 meters high.

🎥 What’s Happening?
In 2024, reports surfaced of increased seepage at the dam, prompting geotechnical investigations. Seepage vs. leakage—what's the difference? Experts clarify that while seepage is common in dams, leakage could indicate structural issues. With exploratory drilling underway and no visible spurting water, is the viral footage misleading?
