Dam A, located in Johnson County, Kansas, is a private earth dam primarily used for irrigation purposes. With a height of 13 feet and a length of 1100 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 66.5 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 6.7 acres. The dam is situated on the Kill Creek-TR river or stream and falls under the jurisdiction of the state regulatory agency.
While Dam A has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment, it is equipped with a spillway width of 24 feet and has no associated locks. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in March 2007, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps have not been reported. Despite these limitations, Dam A remains a vital resource for local irrigation and recreational activities in the area.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Dam A serves as a noteworthy example of a privately-owned structure contributing to water management in the region. As interest in sustainable water practices continues to grow, monitoring and assessing the condition of dams like Dam A will be crucial to ensuring their long-term effectiveness and safety for both the environment and surrounding communities.
