  • Dam reservoirs go up and down over time, that's one of the primary reasons for building a dam (the other being electricity generation). I think this image is just fine by itself, it shows a nominal level, it shows the sediments accumulated on the banks. Also, this not being a map or a diagram, there is no need for a particular orientation, it's just a photograph. Bammesk (talk) 03:49, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
