The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3, indicating a need for risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
With its picturesque setting and diverse recreational opportunities, the Ldf Development Lake Dam is a key attraction in the region for water resource and climate enthusiasts. Although it poses a moderate risk, the dam's importance for local recreation underscores the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to safeguard both the dam and the surrounding community.
