As pressure = force / area

The wall of a dam is broad at its base because the pressure exerted by a liquid increases with its depth. thus , as the depth increases more and more pressure is exerted on the wall of the dam. A thicker wall is required to withstand greater pressure, Therefore thickness of dam is increase towards the water.
