Fluitt Dam, located in Lyon County, Iowa, was completed in 1969 and is owned and regulated by a private entity. The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, serves primarily as a fire protection and small fish pond, with a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet. Its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a crucial water resource for the surrounding area, specifically for emergency situations.

Situated on the TR-Big Sioux River, the earth-type Fluitt Dam stands at a height of 32 feet and a length of 260 feet, with a surface area of 2.9 acres and a drainage area of 0.3 square miles. While the dam currently does not have any outlet gates, locks, or spillway width control, its uncontrolled spillway type offers some level of protection in case of overflow events. The dam's condition assessment is listed as "Not Rated," indicating a need for further inspection and maintenance to ensure its long-term reliability.

Given its importance for fire protection and local water supply, Fluitt Dam plays a vital role in the region's water resource management. With oversight from the Iowa DNR and a history of construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam serves as a critical infrastructure for the community and highlights the intersection of water resources and climate resilience in the area.
