Modern zoned-earth embankments employ filter and drain zones to collect and remove seep water and preserve the integrity of the downstream shell zone. An outdated method of zoned earth dam construction used a hydraulic fill to produce a watertight core. Rolled-earth dams may also employ a watertight facing or core in the manner of a rock-fill dam.

The zoned earth embankment creates a 204-acre reservoir and at normal pool stores 3130 (acre-feet) of water. A normal pool elevation of 1495.3’ is maintained throughout the year via the principal and auxiliary spillways. The zoned earth fill dam is 39 feet in height and 530 feet long.
The construction of the canal head works began in March 1948, and was completed a year later. Designed as a zoned earth embankment structure with an impervious central core, a semi-pervious layer on either side of the core, and a layer of rock fill. The semi-pervious layer was built in 1 foot (0.30 m) layers and compacted.
Jocassee Dam (often called Lake Jocassee Dam) is an embankment dam on the Keowee River, straddling the border of Pickens and Oconee counties in South Carolina in the United States. The dam forms Lake Jocassee , which is fed by the Toxaway , Thompson, Horsepasture and Whitewater Rivers, and serves primarily for hydroelectric power generation and ...
The average base width of the embankment is variously 1,800 m, [10] 800 m from Google Earth and 660 m. [7] So whereas one report [10] gives an embankment volume of 720×10 6 m 3, calculations based on the width of the embankment base from these three sources give embankment volumes of 660, 290 and 240×10 6 m 3 respectively. So there's some ...
