Increased flow of water from drains under asphalt-paved bottom of Baldwin Hills storage reservoir in Los Angeles, Calif, caused failure of dam on Dec 14 1963; water entering through crack in asphaltic concrete penetrated impervious layers and membranes, entered underlying permeable material, and followed old fault coinciding with cracks to exit on downstream face of dam.
