Shield Dam
Reservoir Levels • Weather • Hydrology
Shield Dam, located in Coleman, Texas, was completed in 1969 by the USDA NRCS and serves primarily for irrigation purposes on Loss Creek. This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and has a storage capacity of 210 acre-feet. Despite lacking a spillway, the dam maintains a normal storage level of 180 acre-feet and is not currently rated for condition assessment.
With no associated structures and limited information on its hazard potential, Shield Dam presents a high risk level but has not been fully assessed in terms of emergency preparedness or risk management measures. Although the dam does not fall under federal jurisdiction, it is subject to state permitting and inspection requirements. Named after its location in Shield, Texas, this dam remains a key infrastructure for water resource management in the region, catering to the agricultural needs of the local community.
