Munsee is a privately owned dam located in Twin Falls, Idaho, along an unnamed stream and Salmon Falls Creek. Built in 1977 for irrigation purposes, this earth dam stands at a height of 22.8 feet with a storage capacity of 90 acre-feet. The dam's spillway is of the controlled type, ensuring regulated water release when necessary.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Munsee poses a very high risk, with a risk assessment rating of 1. While the dam has been inspected periodically, the last assessment took place in May 2018. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures remain unclear, raising concerns for potential issues that may arise in the future. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, monitoring Munsee and advocating for proper maintenance and risk mitigation strategies is crucial to ensure the safety and sustainability of this irrigation infrastructure in Idaho.
