Humidity
John Robinson Pond, is a privately owned structure located in Hinds, Mississippi. Built in 1954 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 12 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes. Situated on the UNT of Big Creek, the dam has a storage capacity of 120 acre-feet, with a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures and emergency action plan status are unclear. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam presents a low risk to the surrounding area, but its overall risk assessment indicates a moderate level of concern.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, C B Blaine Pond Dam offers a fascinating glimpse into the intersection of human engineering and environmental stewardship. As a recreational structure nestled in the heart of Mississippi, this dam is not only a testament to our ability to harness water resources for leisure activities but also a reminder of the importance of proper maintenance and risk management in ensuring the safety of our water infrastructure.
