Crawford Dam, located in Delta, Colorado, is a vital water resource managed by the Bureau of Reclamation for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at 162 feet high and spans 580 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 18,275 acre-feet. The dam overlooks Iron Creek and serves as a key component in managing water resources in the region, with a maximum discharge capacity of 1,400 cubic feet per second.

Despite its critical role in water management, Crawford Dam poses a high hazard potential and is categorized as a high-risk structure. Regular inspections by the Bureau of Reclamation ensure its operational integrity, with a condition assessment currently marked as "Not Available." Emergency action plans are in place, with the last revision dated to July 2020, indicating a commitment to ensuring public safety in the event of a dam-related emergency. With its strategic location and significant impact on the surrounding area, Crawford Dam stands as a cornerstone in the management of water resources in Colorado.
