The pond's waters are held back by an earthen embankment dam on its south shore.

It is increasingly being used as the core of embankment dams.

In 1959, extensive studies were carried out and recommended an embankment dam with a gravity section.

It is an embankment dam, built of a concrete core with an earth-filled cover.

A cross-section of an embankment dam shows a shape like a bank, or hill.

Additionally, the rock pieces may need to be crushed into smaller grades to get the right range of size for use in an embankment dam.

Recently a number of embankment dam overtopping protection systems have been developed.

In 2010, press reports raised concerns about the integrity of the embankment dam.

The second was an embankment dam built in 1924 for powering the mills and later to maintain the lake's water level.

It is created by an embankment dam and an outlet structure.
