Window Rock is a federal dam located in Arizona, specifically in the city of Window Rock. Built in 1936 by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, this concrete dam serves primarily for flood risk reduction, with additional purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond management. Standing at a structural height of 34 feet and a length of 221 feet, Window Rock has a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet and is situated along the Black Creek-TR river or stream.
Managed and funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Window Rock has a high hazard potential and is rated as having a very high risk level. Despite its critical importance for flood control in the region, the dam has not been inspected since 2012 and its condition assessment is listed as not available. With emergency action plans and risk assessments lacking, there are concerns about the dam's readiness in the face of potential disasters. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep an eye on developments regarding this vital infrastructure to ensure the safety and security of the surrounding communities.
