A dam itself does not filter water; instead, it serves as a barrier to hold back water in a reservoir. While the water in a reservoir can undergo some natural filtration through sedimentation as particles settle over time, this process is not the same as active filtration. Additional water treatment processes are often required downstream to ensure that the water is safe for consumption. Therefore, while a dam can contribute to cleaner water through sedimentation, it does not function as a filter.

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.
