Funks is a federal-owned irrigation dam located on Funks Creek in Colusa, California. Built in 1975 by the Bureau of Reclamation, this earth dam stands at 80 feet high with a hydraulic height of 36 feet, serving primarily for irrigation purposes. With a storage capacity of 2,312 acre-feet and a surface area of 215 acres, Funks plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

The dam is regulated by the Bureau of Reclamation and has a low hazard potential, with a very high risk assessment rating. Despite its age, the condition assessment of Funks is currently listed as "Not Available," and the last inspection was conducted in 2002 with an inspection frequency of 3 years. While the dam meets guidelines for emergency action plans, details on risk management measures and inundation maps are not readily available.

Funks dam underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management in California, providing essential irrigation water for agricultural activities in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, monitoring and maintaining the infrastructure of dams like Funks are essential to ensure the safety and security of water resources for future generations.
