Rittenhouse is a dam located in Pinal, Arizona, along Mineral Creek, designed by the USDA NRCS in 1969 for flood risk reduction purposes. This earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet with a structural height of 35.3 feet and a length of 22,000 feet. It has a storage capacity of 4,520 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 660 acres, serving the surrounding area with a drainage area of 91.6 square miles.

Managed by the Arizona Department of Water Resources, Rittenhouse is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Its spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 600 feet, and it has a high hazard potential. Despite this, the dam's condition assessment in 2018 was reported as satisfactory, with a moderate risk level.

With Congressman Paul A. Gosar overseeing the area, Rittenhouse provides critical flood risk reduction measures for the community of Williams Air Force Base in Pinal, Arizona. As an essential piece of infrastructure, this dam plays a vital role in protecting the region from potential flooding events and highlights the importance of proper water resource management and climate resilience practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.
