Corman Dam, located in Nuckolls, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1962, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a hydraulic height of 16 feet. The dam's primary purpose is to provide irrigation water storage for the surrounding area, with a normal storage capacity of 39 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 97 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Corman Dam has been assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in April 2020. The dam spans 315 feet in length and is situated on TR-SPRING CREEK, regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. With a drainage area of 0.5 square miles and a surface area of 10 acres, the dam also serves to control water flow and prevent flooding in the region.
While Corman Dam has not been modified in recent years and has no associated structures, it is crucial to monitor and maintain its condition to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the integrity of the water resource system. As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding and supporting the proper management of dams like Corman is essential for sustainable water usage and environmental stewardship in Nebraska.
