The water pressure is greatest at the middle third of the base because the water is pushing against the dam from all sides. The water pressure is less at the toe and heel of the dam because the water is only pushing against the dam from one side.<\/p>\n<p>The toe of a dam is the point where the dam meets the ground. The heel of a dam is the point where the dam meets the reservoir. The middle third of the base is the area between the toe and heel of the dam.<\/p>\n<p>The maximum compressive force in a gravity dam is important because it determines the strength of the dam.
