Dyekman is a private earth dam located in Larimer, Colorado, with a primary purpose of irrigation. Constructed in 1902, this dam stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 600 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. Situated on the Big Thompson River-OS, Dyekman plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, with a low hazard potential and a high risk assessment rating.
Despite being last inspected in 1980, Dyekman is regulated and permitted by the Colorado Division of Water Resources, ensuring that it meets state standards for safety and functionality. While its condition is currently rated as "Not Rated," the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unclear. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the maintenance and upkeep of structures like Dyekman are essential for mitigating risks and ensuring the sustainable use of water for irrigation and other purposes in the future.
