Nice calculator Bonanza_Peak & welcome to the site!
It's been so long I'd have to look up the physics but the same pressure in a 1" pipe that would lift say a 1# weight in a 10" pipe it could lift a car.
Just an example why it's so important to compact dirt & use anti-seep collars. The pressure is tremdous along the bottom of a dam.

That's what I was looking for, Bonanza. Thanks. The water pressure is about 7 1/2 psi at 15 feet deep. How many square inches is your dam? Yep, that's a lot of pressure! 
Hey Moe, I'm trying to think but nuthin's happening!
