Knapp Farms Dam, located in Taylor County, Iowa, is a privately owned structure designed by the NRCS and completed in 2002. The dam serves multiple purposes, including providing a fish and wildlife pond, grade stabilization, and recreational opportunities. With a dam height of 27 feet and a storage capacity of 29 acre-feet, it plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area.
Situated in the watershed of the Tributary to West Fork Hundred and Two River, Knapp Farms Dam is regulated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspection to ensure its safety and compliance with state regulations. Despite having a low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to mitigate any potential risks.
The dam's location in Hopkins, Missouri, within the Kansas City District, underscores its importance in supporting the local ecosystem and providing recreational opportunities for the community. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Knapp Farms Dam play a critical role in managing and preserving these vital natural resources for future generations.
