Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam dam
Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam
Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam is a private-owned structure located in Oktibbeha, Mississippi, with a primary purpose of recreation. This earth dam, with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 8 feet and has a storage capacity of 56 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is classified as having a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment.
Despite being relatively small in size, Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities for the local community. The dam has an uncontrolled spillway type and is not currently rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have associated structures or outlet gates. Overall, Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam serves as a valuable resource for water enthusiasts in the area, offering a peaceful and scenic environment for outdoor activities.
With its serene location and low hazard potential, Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam is a hidden gem for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a tranquil escape. While its condition assessment is not rated, the dam continues to provide essential recreational opportunities for the community. As it is privately owned and regulated by state authorities, the dam ensures the safety and enjoyment of visitors, making it a vital part of the local ecosystem in Oktibbeha, Mississippi.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Plan around the weather

About Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam
Where does the data for Davis Lake Ms00350 Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
