Hole-N-Wall Detention Dam, located in Mohave, Arizona, is a federal-owned structure managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Built in 1960 with a primary purpose of debris control, this gravity dam stands at a structural height of 32 feet and has a hydraulic height of 27 feet. Situated on the Hurricane Wash tributary, this dam plays a crucial role in mitigating the risk of debris flow and enhancing water resource management in the region.

With a storage capacity of 1150 acre-feet and a surface area of 178 acres, Hole-N-Wall Detention Dam serves as a vital infrastructure for flood control and water conservation. The dam's uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 3 feet, can handle a maximum discharge of 840 cubic feet per second. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to ensure the dam's structural integrity and operational effectiveness.

Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, Hole-N-Wall Detention Dam is an essential component of the region's water resource infrastructure. With a moderate risk rating and a history of maintenance and oversight, this gravity dam continues to play a pivotal role in protecting downstream communities and enhancing the overall resilience of the local water system.
