  1. Dutchy here. Not all our dams are made of stone or concrete, we have plenty of dirt dams as well. The man can definitely be right about the rodents, especially the Muskrat (an invasive species from the Americas) is a pest that needs to be controlled to protect the dams. Because they make their burrows in such dams, significantly weakening them. We employ trappers to deal with the creatures, and we repair the damage they do. But if neglected, they will destroy the dams. So the problem isn't the construction of the dams, it is their maintenance. The failure shown at 7:20 could have been caused in this way. That said, the images at 8:00 look more like a dam that was simply overwhelmed, too low to stop the water. Once it crests the dam, the running water digs channels that can lead to the catastrophic failure of the dam.
