The damping of the unsteady flow through a dam or levee with horizontal underdrain, when the head behind it is raised considerably, is treated analytically and tested in a Hele-Shaw model. Slow and rapid rises from low level to final full level are considered. Numerical examples are included. The analytical and experimental results compare reasonably well.
