Gsdd No 7-29, located in Wetmore, Kansas, is a local government-owned earth dam designed by Duane Mueting to primarily reduce flood risk along Barnes Creek. Completed in 1999, this 29-foot tall structure has a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3.8 acres. With a drainage area of 0.24 square miles, the dam has a low hazard potential and is deemed to have a moderate risk level.

Despite being a relatively small dam, Gsdd No 7-29 plays a crucial role in debris control and flood risk reduction in the Nemaha County. It has an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 440 cubic feet per second. The dam has not been inspected since its completion in 1999, but it is considered to be in good condition. While it does not have outlet gates, associated structures, or a designated emergency action plan, the dam remains a key asset in managing water resources and mitigating the impact of extreme weather events in the region.
