Australian dams are overflowing, dams in the US are dry (as ours were only a handful of years ago, and will be again). The problem with dams I think is that they remove water from the landscape itself, and treat it like a tank of fuel in a car, to be released as we need it somewhere else, usually a long way away. Water becomes a resource, rather than an active part of the landscape. Alternating flood and drought (way too much and not enough water) is the result.
