The dam comprises a dam body, the top of the dam body is provided with a water retaining body extending in the transverse direction, the water retaining body is provided with a drainage hole with a valve, the downstream of the dam body is provided with lateral drainage ditches located on the two sides of the dam face, and the lateral drainage ditches are arranged in the dam face. A flexible energy dissipation layer is arranged on the dam face between the lateral drainage ditches, a longitudinal
drainage ditch located in the center of the dam face and a net-shaped
drainage ditch distributed along the dam face are arranged on the flexible energy dissipation layer, and the bottom outlet ends of the longitudinal
drainage ditch, the net-shaped drainage
ditch and the lateral drainage ditches are all connected with a stilling
pool. According to the method, by comprehensively applying the
modes of combining the characteristics of protective structure materials, the energy dissipation principle, the overtopping
flood discharge capacity of the earth and rockfill dam and the like, the deformation coordination between the structure materials is improved, and meanwhile safety protection and safety operation of overtopping but not collapsing or overtopping and slow collapsing of small and medium-sized reservoir dam bodies are guaranteed.
