A dam releases water through a controlled structure called a spillway or outlet works. The spillway is designed to safely discharge excess water from the reservoir to prevent overtopping of the dam and potential flooding downstream. The water is released either through gates that can be opened or closed as needed, or through a series of valves or pipes that control the flow rate. The release of water is carefully managed to balance the needs of flood control, water supply, and power generation.
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.

Water retained for the dam.
A scour pipe is used to flush out sediment or release water. It usually runs near the bottom of a dam.
The pressure of the water against the top of the dam wall, is much less than the pressure exerted against the bottom of the dam wall. The width of a dam wall increases to compensate for the increased water pressures at the lower level.
One time a Dam man went to drink the Dam water. He was all out of Dam water so he went and got his Dam bucket to fill it up with Dam water from the Dam well. His Dam well was empty, so he went to another Dam man to get Dam water. He asked the Dam man," Can I have some Dam water, Please?" The Dam man Replied, "Get your own Dam water!"
A water dam is place where rain water is stored to get to be fertilized
Is water depth greater near the rainbow dam or the Ryan dam
Water pressure on the dam.
A dam is simple to make there is a turbine and a big concrete structure that holds water on the other side of the dam. The turbine is in the dam and is turned by the water coming threw the dam.
In the hoover dam.
The pressure that water exerts on the walls of the dam is proportional to the depth of the water or you might say the height of the column of water from the base of the dam. The hydraulic height is the same as the depth of the water to the bottom of the dam.
A dam.
A dam is a wall that holds back water on one side. Such a dam can be made to release this water though a pipe into which a propeller is fitted. As the water flows down the pipe, this spins the propeller, which in turn spins a dynamo that generates electricity. As the source of electricity is water power, the term used is "hydro electric power" - "hydro" refers to water.
water pressure at the base of the dam is (specific weight of water * depth)2158.2KN/m2
