Adams Bros. Dam, located in Jefferson County, Iowa, was completed in 1988 by the USDA NRCS and serves multiple purposes including fire protection and creating a stock or small fish pond. This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a length of 370 feet, with a storage capacity of 69 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Troy Creek and is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Despite its low hazard potential, Adams Bros. Dam has a moderate risk assessment rating of 3 due to its condition being rated as "Not Rated". The dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, but it meets regulatory guidelines for inspection and enforcement. The risk management measures for the dam are not specified, indicating a need for further assessment and planning to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure for both water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area.
