Dd No B-1 is a local government-owned dam located in Garnett, Kansas, designed by KLA and completed in 2010 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet with a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 20 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 285 acre-feet and a normal storage of 29 acre-feet. Situated on Lantha Creek, the dam serves to mitigate flood risks in the area, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.

With a spillway width of 30 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 457 cubic feet per second, Dd No B-1 is equipped to handle excess water flow during heavy rainfall events.

However, the dam is regularly inspected by the Kansas Department of Agriculture and meets state regulatory standards for operation and enforcement, ensuring its functionality in safeguarding the surrounding community from potential flood events.

Located within the Tulsa District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Dd No B-1 plays a crucial role in managing water resources and addressing climate-related challenges in the region. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the design, purpose, and functionality of dams like Dd No B-1 is essential for promoting sustainable water management practices and enhancing resilience to the impacts of climate change in local communities.
