Turkey Ranch is a privately owned earth dam located in Pope Valley, California, along the Tr Pope Creek. Completed in 1999, this dam primarily serves as a water supply source for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. With a height of 35 feet and a length of 3035 feet, Turkey Ranch plays a crucial role in water management in the region, especially in the Napa County.
Managed and regulated by the California Department of Water Resources and Safety of Dams, Turkey Ranch is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. Despite being classified as having a high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment in 2017 deemed it to be satisfactory. With a drainage area of 0.02 square miles, Turkey Ranch covers a surface area of 12 acres and represents an important piece of infrastructure in the local water resource and climate conservation efforts.
The dam's location, design, and purpose make it a key player in the water supply system of the region, providing essential resources for agricultural activities and contributing to the overall water management efforts in California. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Turkey Ranch become increasingly important for ensuring sustainable and reliable access to water for both present and future generations.
