Summary
Located in CORDELE, this dam stands at a height of 13.2 feet with a hydraulic height of 12 feet, serving a drainage area of 398 acres. The dam has a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 45 acre-feet and a surface area of 11 acres.
Although the dam is uncontrolled and has a low hazard potential, its risk assessment is moderate. The condition of the dam is currently not rated, and there is no information available on the last inspection date or the frequency of inspections. Despite these uncertainties, the dam continues to play a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the region by providing irrigation water to the surrounding lands.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Charles Williams Irrigation Pond Dam (Lower) presents an intriguing case of a privately owned structure that contributes to the efficient use of water for agricultural purposes in Georgia. With its modest storage capacity and low hazard potential, this dam exemplifies the importance of sound risk management practices in maintaining the safety and functionality of irrigation infrastructure.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
