Why the dam of the water reservoir is thick at the bottom?

  • Quantity of water increases with depth

  • Density of water increases with depth

  • Pressure of water increases with depth

  • Temperature of water increases with depth


C.

Pressure of water increases with depth

The dam of the water reservoir is made thick at the bottom because, due to maximum depth, the pressure of water is maximum, and to bear this maximum pressure dam should be thick at the bottom.
