The risk assessment for this dam is moderate, with a risk management plan yet to be implemented. With its location in a region vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as increased precipitation and extreme weather events, the management of Ms05625 Lake Dam is crucial for mitigating potential risks and safeguarding the community.
