This is because the uplift pressure is caused by the water pressure acting on the face of the dam, and the water pressure is greatest at the toe and heel of the dam.<\/p>\n<p>The hydrostatic pressure at the toe of the dam is equal to the weight of the water above the toe of the dam divided by the area of the toe of the dam.
