    This document contains 5 multiple choice questions about different aspects of dam engineering. Question 1 asks about the type of failure caused by surface erosion of water on a dam, with the answer being seepage failure. Question 2 asks about a component that collects seepage and minimizes piping, with the answer being horizontal filter. Question 3 asks about something that protects the downstream slope from erosion, with the answer being toe drain. Question 4 asks about an important addition to seepage control schemes, with the answer being relief wells. Question 5 asks about something that acts as a barrier to internal erosion, with the answer also being relief wells. The document also contains 2 essay questions about seepage failures and the importance of pore pressure
