German #2 is a privately owned earth dam located in Fort Lupton, Colorado, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Built in 1887, it stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches across a length of 2,271 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 122 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 35 acre-feet and a surface area of 15 acres.

Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, German #2 is considered to have a high risk level due to its condition assessment being rated as 'Not Rated'.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find German #2 an intriguing structure to study, given its historical significance in the area and the potential risks associated with its current condition. Further research and monitoring may be necessary to ensure the safety and integrity of this irrigation dam in the future.
