In a modified homogenous dam, the filter is generally placed as a blanket of sand and fine gravel on the downstream foundation area, extending from the cutoff/core trench boundary to the edge of the downstream toe and then taken to safe discharge by the toe drains. In a zoned dam, the filter is placed between the core and the downstream shell zone. A longitudinal ‘chimney’ drain of gravel material collects the intercepted seepage flow and carries it to the base of the chimney. The transverse drains then convey the water to the toe drains outside the embankment. Layers of Earth-Filled Dam Core: ______
