Summary
This earth dam with buttress core stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 455 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite its modest size and recreational focus, Lake Adanac Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region. The uncontrolled spillway ensures safe discharge of excess water, and the dam's condition is currently rated as "Not Rated." While no major modifications or inspections have been reported recently, the dam remains a key feature in the area's water infrastructure, providing a source of leisure and natural beauty for residents and visitors alike.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the management and maintenance of structures like Lake Adanac Dam become increasingly important. With its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for proactive measures to ensure the safety and integrity of our water systems. As enthusiasts and advocates for water resources and climate resilience, it is essential to stay informed about the status and management of key structures like Lake Adanac Dam to support sustainable water management practices in the face of changing environmental conditions.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
