This earth dam stands at a height of 23.2 feet and spans a length of 2400 feet, with a storage capacity of 2725 acre-feet and a drainage area of 10.3 square miles. The dam serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the Wet Walnut Creek-TR, offering protection to the surrounding area in NEKOMA.
