Hauschild-Thanghe Reservoir, located in Minnesota, was completed in 1980 and is primarily used for flood risk reduction along the Yellow Medicine River. Owned by a private entity, this earth dam structure has a height of 47 feet and a maximum storage capacity of 2100 acre-feet. The reservoir covers an area with a drainage area of 14 square miles and a normal storage capacity of 187 acre-feet.
Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the dam is inspected every 8 years and has been deemed to have a low hazard potential with a satisfactory condition assessment as of 2015. In case of emergencies, the reservoir is equipped with uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates. The risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating the need for ongoing monitoring and management measures to ensure public safety and protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Hauschild-Thanghe serves as an important infrastructure component in managing flood risks in the region.
