Interesting read from Aug 2014.

It appears that whoever is in control, the dam may self destruct for lack a maintenance.

That given, Not sure ISIS/ISIL/IS (who ever) has the wherewithal to hasten the event?

But, If they stopped the turbines and flow gates, backed up a couple bazillion gallons of winter run-off, It surely looks feasible..
