The surrounding area has a drainage basin of 434 square miles, emphasizing the importance of proper maintenance and risk management measures to ensure public safety and water resource sustainability in the event of an emergency. The dam's risk assessment and management protocols will be crucial in mitigating potential risks and ensuring the long-term safety and efficacy of this essential water resource infrastructure.
