Becker Dam, located in Fort Dodge, Iowa, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and small fish pond utilization. This earth dam, completed in 1989, stands at a height of 33 feet and spans 200 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 42 acre-feet and a surface area of 2.4 acres. Situated on the TR- Des Moines River, the dam is under the jurisdiction of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities.

With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Becker Dam is designed to provide essential water resource management for the local area. Despite its uncontrolled spillway type, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, indicating a need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures. As a private-owned structure, Becker Dam plays a crucial role in supporting the surrounding ecosystem and maintaining water resources for the community, making it a significant asset for climate and water enthusiasts to explore and study.
