All of these factors can contribute to instability or leakage of a dam, making it unsuitable for construction. Weak or fractured rocks in the abutment and next to a fault can lead to structural instability, while permeable rocks in the abutment and floor of the reservoir can allow water to seep through the dam, potentially causing failure.
