Water losses due to seepage through the body of the dam is something problems that often occur in planning a dam. The purpose of this research to knows the phenomenon of the seepage flow on the soil through the dam body or under the body of landfill dam. The research methods used the Test Laboratory simulations of homogeny Dams model using with three of the soil density (58.20%, 68.27%, and 76.33%) and with the application of the three theories of seepage in dam body (Dupuit, Schaffernak, Cassagrande). The results of this research indicate seepage flow far that the more the long time it takes to perk, the higher the discharge and the father the distance small then the seepage discharge of seepage, and the higher the density of the ground than the lower depths of the seepage
