Designed by Danny Tyson of USDA/NRCS, this private earth dam stands at a height of 18.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 188 acre-feet. With a surface area of 16 acres, this dam serves as a crucial water resource for agricultural activities in the region.
Despite being unregulated by the state, the dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. While it has not been rated for condition assessment, the last inspection in August 2016 deemed it suitable for operation. With uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, the dam poses minimal risk to downstream areas and is regularly inspected every 5 years to ensure its structural integrity.
Owned privately, this irrigation pond dam plays a vital role in water management and agriculture in Worth County, Georgia. Its construction and design highlight the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
