Constructed in 1950 by USDA NRCS, this earth dam structure stands at a height of 25 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Slinde serves as a vital water source in the region, providing water for irrigation, fire protection, stock, and small fish ponds.
Situated along Dry Creek-TR, Slinde is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources, with state oversight for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The reservoir spans 12 acres with a drainage area of 0, featuring an uncontrolled spillway type and a moderate risk assessment rating of 3.
