  Infiltration and water leakage are destructive phenomena that after the construction of earth dams can endanger the safety and stability of these structures. Numerous studies have been conducted on the numerical modeling of leakage currents from earth dams. The issue is the seepage from the body and the foundation and its analysis. Leakage in earthen dams is unavoidable, but if there are suitable conditions for soil erosion, seepage will cause soil particles to be washed away in favorable places. Studies on a large number of destroyed earth dams have shown that about 38% of these damages were due to uncontrolled seepage from the dam body. By analyzing the results of instrumentation and numerical model, the accuracy of instrument information embedded in the dam can be ensured. Numerical methods can be a good, accurate and useful tool for modeling physical phenomena such as the movement and flow of water in porous deposits. Finally, the necessary solutions to determine the leakage path, water escape rate and other measures related to dam safety are suggested. Manuscript profile
