Chambers, also known as Dry Creek, is a vital irrigation structure located in Mesa, Colorado, near the city of Whitewater. Completed in 1903, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and provides essential water storage for agricultural purposes. With a storage capacity of 751 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 228 acre-feet, Chambers plays a key role in supporting the local farming community in the region.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Colorado Department of Water Resources (DWR), Chambers is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being classified as low hazard potential with a fair condition assessment, the dam is considered to have a high risk level due to various factors. The outlet gates, consisting of a slide gate and uncontrolled mechanisms, allow for controlled water release and management during peak flow periods.

While Chambers does not have a spillway, its close proximity to the Kannah Creek-TR river and its strategic location within the drainage area of 1 square mile make it a critical component of the water resource infrastructure in the region. As climate change continues to impact water availability and usage, structures like Chambers will play an increasingly important role in ensuring sustainable water management practices for the future.
