The Dam Challenge

You're a city planner, and a dam upstream is beginning to crumble. Do you repair it, remove it, or do nothing and let nature take its course? This interactive activity from the Building Big Web site presents users with four problem dams and the choices engineers and planners routinely face in solving such problems.
