Bartlett Dam in Maricopa, Arizona, is a federal water supply structure managed by the Bureau of Reclamation. Completed in 1938, this buttress dam on the Verde River stands at a height of 308.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 178,000 acre-feet, serving as a vital resource for water supply in the region. The dam's maximum discharge capacity is 175,000 cubic feet per second, with a controlled spillway width of 170 feet.

With a high hazard potential and very high risk assessment rating, Bartlett Dam has undergone modifications for hydraulic, seismic, and structural improvements in 1997. Despite its critical role in water management, the condition assessment of the dam is currently listed as not available. Emergency action plans are in place, with the last revision in December 2020, ensuring preparedness for any potential risks associated with the dam's operations. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Bartlett Dam presents a fascinating case study of infrastructure management and the challenges of maintaining water supply structures in a changing environment.
