Hi,
Here is the answer to your query:-

{the bottom of dam os broad than wall}
The reason is that the pressure exerted by a liquid increases with its depth. Thus, as the depth increases, more and more pressure is exerted by water on the wall of the dam. A thicker wall is required to withstand greater pressure, therefore, the thickness of the dam increases towards the bottom.

Hope it helps you....
