Designed by USDA NRCS, this private earth dam stands at a height of 26 feet with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a structural height of 31 feet. With a storage capacity of 34 acre-feet and a drainage area of 377.6 square miles, the dam plays a key role in managing water resources in the region.
The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a reliable infrastructure for flood control and water management. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam ensures efficient water discharge during high flows. Although not currently rated for condition assessment, Mcrobert Dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of grade stabilization, safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flood risks.
Located in Scotland County, Missouri, Mcrobert Dam stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of the Natural Resources Conservation Service and private owners in safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience in the region. As climate change poses increasing challenges to water management, the role of dams like Mcrobert becomes even more critical in ensuring sustainable water supply and flood protection for the community.
