Lomaland Basin Dam

Reservoir Levels Weather Hydrology


Lomaland Basin Dam, located in El Paso, Texas, stands as a crucial infrastructure for flood risk reduction along the Jesuit Draw. Completed in 2004, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 27 feet and spans 3,840 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 439 acre-feet. The dam's uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 1,050 feet, allows for a maximum discharge of 73,900 cubic feet per second, serving as a vital mechanism for managing excess water flow during heavy rainfall events.

Owned and regulated by the local government and overseen by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Lomaland Basin Dam is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and functionality. With a fair condition assessment as of April 2021, the dam continues to serve its primary purpose of flood risk reduction effectively. The surrounding community benefits from the dam's presence, providing a sense of security during times of heightened flood risks. The moderate risk assessment indicates the importance of ongoing maintenance and monitoring to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure the dam's continued reliability in protecting downstream areas.
