Brand Park, located in Burbank, California, is a crucial water supply facility that plays a significant role in the state's water management.
Built in 1930, this earth dam stands at a height of 99 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 32 acre-feet. With a primary purpose of water supply, Brand Park serves as a vital resource for the local community and contributes to the overall water infrastructure in the region.
Managed by the local government, Brand Park is regulated and inspected by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) for safety and compliance with state regulations. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam is in satisfactory condition as of the last assessment in September 2017. With a comprehensive Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, the facility is prepared to respond to any potential risks and emergencies, ensuring the safety of the surrounding area.
With its strategic offstream location and effective water management practices, Brand Park exemplifies the importance of proper infrastructure for water resource management in the face of climate change and increasing water scarcity. The dam's role in providing a reliable water supply underscores the need for continued oversight, maintenance, and risk management to safeguard this essential resource for the community and the environment.
