This Earth-type dam stands at 32 feet in height and serves multiple purposes, including fire protection and providing a small fish pond. With a normal storage capacity of 24 acre-feet and a surface area of 2 acres, Robinson Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area.
The dam is situated on the TR-Little Fox River and is under the jurisdiction of the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk assessment rating. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 10 feet and outlet gates that are also uncontrolled. The last inspection of Robinson Dam took place in September 2002, with the condition assessment marked as "Not Rated" at that time.
Overall, Robinson Dam is a vital infrastructure for the local community, providing water resource management benefits and serving as a source of water for fire protection and livestock. Its construction and design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service reflect a commitment to sustainable water management practices. With its moderate risk level, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and functionality of Robinson Dam in the face of potential climate challenges.
