Drescher is a privately owned dam located in Moffat County, Colorado, near the city of Craig. Built in 1904 for irrigation purposes, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 24 feet with a length of 612 feet, creating a storage capacity of 387 acre-feet. While primarily used for irrigation, it also serves fire protection, stock, small fish ponds, and recreation in the area. The dam is situated along the Yampa River-TR and is regulated by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, ensuring proper permitting, inspection, and enforcement.

Despite its low hazard potential, Drescher has been assessed as unsatisfactory in condition during the last inspection conducted in June 2019. The dam's risk assessment is classified as moderate, indicating potential hazards that need to be addressed. With a drainage area of 7 square miles and a maximum discharge of 770 cubic feet per second, it is crucial to closely monitor the dam's structural integrity and implement necessary risk management measures. As stakeholders in water resource and climate conservation, it is imperative to prioritize the maintenance and safety of Drescher to safeguard the surrounding community and ecosystem.
