They bombed the dams on the Ruhr river because they wanted to flood Germany's industrial factories and prevent the Germans from building equipment to fight the war. The floods only slowed down Germany for a short time, and the dams were rebuilt, and well protected against a second air attack.

The purpose of this was so the bomb would skip up to the Dam and then sink to the bottom of the dam's wall. Then when it exploded, the force would rupture the dam.
Four attempts done on the first dam and the rest of the dam busting went better.
