This private earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet, with a normal storage level at 21 acre-feet. While the dam is primarily used for irrigation purposes, it also serves for recreational activities in the area.
Despite being a low hazard potential structure, Prock's Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam, owned privately, is not regulated or inspected by the state, and does not require any permits or enforcement. However, its strategic location in Miller County, Missouri plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate adaptation, especially in the context of increasing water demands and changing climate conditions.
Although Prock's Dam may not have a high profile among federal agencies or regulatory bodies, its significance lies in its contribution to local water management and irrigation needs. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the role of such structures in supporting sustainable water use and management is essential for ensuring the resilience of communities in the face of climate change impacts.
