Corral, located in Newville, California, is a privately owned dam on Kendrick Creek completed in 1959 for water supply purposes, specifically for irrigation and water supply. This earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet, encompassing a dam length of 500 feet and a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the California Department of Water Resources and falls under the jurisdiction of the Safety of Dams program.

With a significant hazard potential, Corral has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of September 2017, with regular inspections conducted and a designated emergency action plan frequency of once a year. The dam's drainage area covers 0.77 square miles, serving as a vital water resource in Tehama County. Despite its modest size, Corral plays a crucial role in the local water infrastructure and contributes to the overall management of water resources in the region.

Under the representation of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, Corral's presence underscores the importance of maintaining and monitoring dams in California to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the continued availability of water for agricultural and domestic use. As climate change impacts water resources, dams like Corral will be essential in managing water supply and mitigating risks associated with extreme weather events, highlighting the interconnected relationship between water resources and climate.
