This water resource infrastructure serves as a critical component for irrigation purposes in Johnson County, Kansas, supporting agricultural activities in the region. With a maximum discharge capacity of 5209 cubic feet per second, Sprint Campus Lake 1 plays a vital role in water management and distribution, especially during dry seasons. Despite its high hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment remains satisfactory, ensuring its operational reliability and safety for the surrounding community.
Managed by a private entity, Sprint Campus Lake 1 undergoes regular inspections every 3 years to maintain its structural integrity and functionality. While lacking certain emergency preparedness measures like an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps, the reservoir continues to meet the irrigation needs of the area effectively. As a key water resource in the region, its significance in sustaining agricultural activities underscores the importance of proper maintenance and risk management strategies for long-term sustainability.
