To use and manage water resources and carry out protection measures from the destructive effect of water flow, water reservoir hydrosystem construction has greatly developed. The article presents the results of field studies to determine unsteady filtration in the Earth-fill dam core. In the research process, static data from literature review, field study data, and theoretical processing of research results were used. Numerical data processing was carried out with methods of mathematical statistics, and the graphical part was done using Microsoft Excel. Calculations were carried out for phreatic line curve in the core of Earth-fill dam under unsteady filtration for various velocities of reservoir draw-off and water yield coefficient. At the same time, it has been established that the increase of velocity and time of water reservoir draw-off leads to the increase of filtration pressure, and the decrease of water yield factor leads to the decrease of filtration pressure. The increase of filtration pressure, in turn, contributes to the increase of the intensity of unsteady filtration of the Earth-fill dam core.
