       Maybe one of the BEST websites we have found to educate people
       about Dams, and what causes them to crack & fail.
       It's written by Cornell, and is available here :
  HTML http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/sethna/SimScience/cracks/index.html
       There are 3 main levels of instruction based on age or
       understanding of the interested reader. For the younger
       audience, or maybe for those who still are trying to deny that
       Canal Embankments are "real dams", you may want to start at the
       "beginner level".
  HTML http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/sethna/SimScience/cracks/beginning/index.html
       For most folks who have an interest in the Erie Canal and it's
       Embankments, the Advanced Level instruction will be easily
       understood. Of course it does expect the reader to have the
       understanding of an 8th grader.

       And if you want to REALLY understand the issue with Erie Canal
       Earthen Embankments and what might cause their failure, you
       might just want to jump into the Embankment Dam training
       sections.

       The webpage is interesting, informative and educational... and a
       suggested reading for all Erie Canal Neighbors who live BELOW
       the 125 miles of Raised Earthen Embankment Dams that runs across
       New York State, holding the Erie Canal water in place as it
       makes it's way from Albany to Buffalo. If you like it, sens a
       comment and also, pass the links along to others.
