Abrams is a privately owned dam in Coloma, California, built in 1950 for water supply purposes, specifically irrigation and water supply. Situated on Hastings Creek in El Dorado County, this Earth-type dam stands at 37 feet tall with a hydraulic height of 27.5 feet, providing a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The dam has a low hazard potential and is in satisfactory condition as per a 2017 assessment.

Managed by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) under the Safety of Dams program, Abrams is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state authorities. It falls under the jurisdiction of the DWR and is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in December 2019. The dam has a spillway type and width unspecified, and no outlet gates, locks, or associated structures, making it a relatively simple yet vital component in the local water resource management system.

Located within the San Francisco District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Abrams plays a crucial role in maintaining water supply for agricultural and domestic use in the region. Despite its age, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose effectively, highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of climate change challenges.
