De Bruin Dam, located in Jasper County, Iowa, was completed in 1966 and stands at a height of 32 feet, with a length of 484 feet. The dam serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, small fish pond, and recreation. It is primarily owned and regulated by a private entity, with oversight from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The dam is situated on the TR-Walnut Creek, near Red Rock Reservoir, and has a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet.

Despite being rated as having a low hazard potential, De Bruin Dam is considered to have a moderate risk level, with a focus on risk management measures. The dam's condition is currently not rated, and it has not undergone recent inspections or assessments. While the dam is not operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, it was designed by the USDA NRCS and falls under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With its earth construction and soil foundation, De Bruin Dam remains an important asset for water resource management in the region and a focal point for climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable infrastructure.
