Original Title: TIL the Matilija Dam in California, built in 1947, once held a capacity of 7,018 acre⋅ft. However due to sedimentation by 2021 the reservoir completely silted up & the dam is no longer able to hold any water. Despite attempts to remove the dam dating back to 1964, it remains standing.
