Dd No 232, also known as Kizler, is a crucial water resource infrastructure located in Lyon, Kansas, owned by the local government. This earth dam, designed by AandE and MILES ENGINEERING, was completed in 1983 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Bluff Creek-TR. With a height of 30 feet and a length of 550 feet, the dam provides storage of 324.2 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 35.74 acre-feet over a surface area of 7.52 acres.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Dd No 232 is regulated, inspected, and enforced by the state to ensure its safety and functionality. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 74 feet and is classified as having a low hazard potential. Despite being in a moderate risk category, the condition of Dd No 232 has not been rated, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) have not been specified.

This water resource infrastructure plays a vital role in mitigating flood risks in the area, serving as a key component of the local government's disaster management strategy. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Dd No 232's design and operational details, as well as its importance in protecting the surrounding community, to be of great interest and relevance in understanding the intersection of water management and climate resilience.
