With a storage capacity of 22 acre-feet, Jackie Hague Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in Mercer County, Missouri. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it an important asset for the local community, despite not being regulated by the state. Its uncontrolled spillway and lack of outlet gates signify a simplistic yet effective design for its intended purpose.
