The AquaDam Worked
As the water level continued to elevate, most people in Wagner’s situation would have panicked. It’s not like they would have had a lot options if their artificial flood bank failed. In fact, if it had sprung a leak they would have been in an even worse situation than if they had done nothing at all. The waters from a broken dam would have also caused disasters for their nearby neighbors, who would certainly have a new enemy after such an ordeal. But fortunately, the water never rose above the AquaDam and Wagner was the envy of his neighborhood.
