2 is a private earth dam located in Chambers, Alabama, along the TR Moores Creek. The dam, completed in 1973, serves primarily for recreation purposes, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet of water. With a hydraulic height of 11 feet and a structural height of 17 feet, the dam has a maximum discharge capability of 150 cubic feet per second.
Despite its recreational significance, Riverside No. 2 poses a high hazard potential due to its condition being not rated. The dam has not been inspected recently, and there is no emergency action plan in place. This lack of assessment and preparedness raises concerns about the safety and resilience of the structure in the face of potential climate-related challenges, such as increased precipitation and extreme weather events in the region.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Riverside No. 2 serves as a reminder of the importance of proactive dam maintenance and emergency planning in the face of changing environmental conditions. As discussions around water infrastructure resilience and climate adaptation continue to evolve, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of structures like Riverside No. 2 will be crucial in safeguarding water resources and communities in the future.
