Djokjakarta dam
Djokjakarta
Djokjakarta is a privately owned dam located in Chouteau, Montana, along Chip Creek. Built in 1960, this Earth dam stands at 15 feet high and spans 300 feet in length, serving primarily for fire protection, stock, or as a small fish pond. With a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet, Djokjakarta has a low hazard potential and is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), ensuring regular inspections, permitting, and enforcement to maintain its safety and functionality.
The dam, situated in Loma, Montana, is overseen by the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite being labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment, Djokjakarta remains an integral part of the local water resource infrastructure, providing vital services to the community. With its efficient state jurisdiction, enforcement, and inspection protocols in place, Djokjakarta stands as a testament to responsible water resource management in the region, supporting both human and ecological needs.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the structure and function of dams like Djokjakarta is crucial for ensuring sustainable water management practices. By recognizing the importance of these structures in providing essential services such as fire protection and stock water, we can work towards preserving and enhancing the resilience of our water resources in the face of changing climate conditions. Djokjakarta serves as a reminder of the intricate balance between human needs and environmental conservation, highlighting the importance of careful planning and regulation in safeguarding our water supply for future generations.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Djokjakarta
Where does the data for Djokjakarta come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
