Dams constructed of earth and rock materials are generally referred to as embankment dams or fill-type dams. The history of embankment dams is much earlier than that of concrete dams. It is evident that some simplest embankment dams were constructed about 3000 years ago in the cradles of ancient cultures such as Egypt, Indian, Sri Lanka, Peru, China, and other countries.
