Does anyone have formulae to determine what the hydrostatic pressure would be relative to the rise in water level??

I don't, but there are engineering types here that may.
And if they don't know it, they know who to grab it from.

As measured at the base of the damn, pressure would rise ~1 psi for every 2 ft of level increase. I.e., level rises 10 ft, pressure rises ~5 psi.
