This irrigation reservoir, completed in 1996, boasts an earth dam with a height of 25 feet and a hydraulic height of 29 feet. With a storage capacity of 429 acre-feet and a surface area of 19 acres, Alsbury serves as a crucial water source for the surrounding area, drawing from the East Divide river.

As a key player in the local water infrastructure, Alsbury plays a crucial role in supporting agriculture and water supply in the region. Its strategic location in Silt, Colorado, and its capacity to hold and manage water make it a valuable resource for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable water management practices and infrastructure development.
