The dam wall is built wider at the bottom to withstand the pressure of flowing water.
Explanation:
- Basically the dams are constructed to store large amount of water which will be released based on intervals for human and other purposes.
- During the sudden interval release of water the dams experience huge pressure in the bottom and so the base of the dams are wider.
- And also the flow of water in dams will be from the heights, the more the deeper the more will be the pressure.
- As the more pressure will be applied on the walls of the dam, thicker walls in the base is very necessary to avoid issues.
