Harry White #2 is a privately owned dam located in Montrose, Colorado, specifically in the city of Delta. Built in 1959 for irrigation purposes, this earthen dam stands at 15 feet tall and stretches 875 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 296 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Roubideau Creek-TR and is regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to be in fair condition as of its last inspection in July 2015. With a maximum discharge of 1312 cubic feet per second, the dam has uncontrolled flap outlet gates and a spillway width of 38 feet. While the risk assessment indicates a high risk level, measures for risk management and emergency action preparedness are not explicitly stated.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Harry White #2 presents an interesting case study of a privately owned dam in Colorado that serves an essential purpose in irrigation. With its historic significance dating back to the late 1950s, the dam's condition and risk assessment highlight the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring to ensure the safety and effectiveness of water infrastructure in the region.
