Frd No Gs 14, also known as Walnut Creek Watershed Dam Gs 14, is a key flood risk reduction infrastructure located in Padonia, Kansas. Owned by the local government and regulated by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet and was completed in 1965 by the USDA NRCS. With a storage capacity of 100 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.53 square miles, Frd No Gs 14 plays a crucial role in managing floodwaters from the Mulberry Creek-TR.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Frd No Gs 14 has not been rated for its condition assessment. However, the dam has a spillway width of 50 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 758 cubic feet per second, ensuring effective water management during peak flow events. While there are no outlet gates or associated structures, the dam's primary purpose remains flood risk reduction for the surrounding area. With its location in Brown County, Kansas, Frd No Gs 14 serves as a vital asset in protecting the community from potential flooding events.
As a part of the Rock Island District, Frd No Gs 14 exemplifies the collaboration between federal and local agencies in ensuring water resource management and climate resilience. With its strategic design by the Natural Resources Conservation Service and state regulatory oversight, this earth dam stands as a testament to the importance of proactive infrastructure to mitigate flood risks and safeguard communities in Kansas.
