Reading: Combine dam
Also known as: Composite dam
A combined dam is a dam with both a concrete dam and a fill dam. The concrete dam is usually installed on the bank with firm ground, while the fill dam is installed on the bank with loose ground.
The word "combine" originally means "to join" or "to combine.
Concrete and fill dams are always placed next to each other, and a combination with a saddle dam, which is built somewhat farther away, is not defined as a combined dam.
