Kiowa Marsh Dam, located in Lake View, Iowa, is a state-owned structure designed by Ducks Unlimited for the primary purpose of serving as a Fish and Wildlife Pond. Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 155 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 471 acre-feet and a surface area of 150 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area, specifically in the TR-INDIAN CREEK watershed.
Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Kiowa Marsh Dam is regulated, inspected, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have moderate risk due to its condition assessment being not rated. With a spillway width of 30 feet and uncontrolled spillway type, the dam is equipped to handle potential excess water flow and maintain its integrity in various weather conditions, contributing to the overall climate resilience of the region.
Situated within the Sac County in Iowa, Kiowa Marsh Dam stands as a vital infrastructure for both water resource management and wildlife conservation efforts. As a focal point for environmental and recreational activities, the dam serves as a testament to the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders to sustainably manage water resources and promote biodiversity in the region.
