They couldn't get a better picture?
I originally heard about this in the late 90's if I recall correct. I didn't know the name of the site and just now ran across an article discussing the subject.

The dam being constructed is supposed to provide irrigation for local farmers, but there seems to be controversy around both the feasibility of this project and the right of the government to push the project forward without allowing the completion of archeological work.
