Shape of Phreatic Line in Earth Dam without Filter

Chapter 62 - Shape of Phreatic Line in Earth Dam without Filter
A dam is a barrier that restricts the flow of water and can be used to collect the water and this water may be utilized for many purposes.

A Dam can be constructed using different kinds of materials.
In earth dams the construction material is rocks and soil. The water that the dam holds flows from upstream through the voids present in the soil of the body of the dam to downstream by the action of hydraulic head difference. This phenomenon of movement of water through the soil is called seepage.

In this video we will discuss the shape of the phreatic line in an earth dam when no filter is provided and seepage water exists from the downstream face of the dam.
