Wohlers Dam, located in Crescent, Iowa, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS and regulated by the Iowa DNR. Completed in 1959, this earth dam stands at a height of 40 feet and stretches 810 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 180 acre-feet. The primary purpose of Wohlers Dam is for fire protection, stock, or as a small fish pond, serving the local community in Pottawattamie County.

Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment rating, Wohlers Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. With a drainage area of 1.11 square miles and a surface area of 9.3 acres, this structure plays a crucial role in managing water resources along the TR-PIGEON CREEK. While the dam has not been modified in recent years, it continues to be inspected regularly by state authorities to ensure its safety and compliance with regulatory standards.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the significance of Wohlers Dam in maintaining water levels for fire protection and supporting local wildlife. As a key element of the area's infrastructure, this earth dam serves as a vital resource for the community and highlights the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
