I subsequently found a mention in an old version of NAVFAC DM-7 where it says "the quantity of water passing through intact interlocks may be as much as 0.1 g.p.m. per ft of wall length for each 10 ft differential in head across sheeting, unless special measures are taken to seal interlocks."

Both you have to manually place in the interlocks before threading the sheets together (a problem if you are having pairs of Z sheets delivered from a supplier).
The other advantage is that with the sealant in the interlocks, sand does not intrude thus reducing the friction and binding that often occurs during installation.
