North Pond in Decatur, Kansas, is a privately owned earth dam structure located along the Rock Draw-TR stream. Built with a height of 16 feet and a length of 2130 feet, the dam has a storage capacity of 66.5 acre-feet and serves the purpose of water resource management. Despite being unregulated by the state and having a low hazard potential, the dam has not been inspected since October 1998.
Although the dam's condition is currently listed as "Not Rated," its location in a rural area with limited drainage area presents a unique opportunity for water and climate enthusiasts to study the impact of small-scale water management structures on local ecosystems. With no associated structures or outlets, North Pond offers a natural setting for research and observation, highlighting the importance of maintaining and monitoring even low-hazard dams for long-term sustainability and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
