Despite its significant role in irrigation, Pishkun Dike 7 poses a high hazard potential, with a risk assessment rating of 2. Although the condition assessment is not available, the Bureau of Reclamation conducts regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality. With no spillway and limited emergency preparedness information, there is a need for continued monitoring and risk management measures to mitigate potential threats and ensure the long-term stability of this vital water resource infrastructure in Montana.
