Gs Dd No A-19 is a local government-owned earth dam located in Wetmore, Kansas, along the Spring Creek-TR. The dam, designed by King Engineering, was completed in 1996 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a height of 27.8 feet and a length of 550 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 160.3 acre-feet and serves to control debris and reduce flood risks in the area.

Despite being classified as having low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Gs Dd No A-19 has not undergone a condition assessment and is not regularly inspected. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 90 feet and has no outlet gates. While the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, its location in a moderately at-risk area underscores the importance of proactive maintenance and monitoring to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Gs Dd No A-19 an intriguing example of local infrastructure designed to mitigate flooding and debris control along the Spring Creek-TR in Nemaha County, Kansas. The dam's history, design specifications, and risk assessment provide valuable insights into the challenges and strategies involved in managing water resources in a changing climate.
