With a height of 45 feet and a length of 189 feet, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction. Situated on TR-SOUTH CREEK, the dam has a normal storage capacity of 43 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 79 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 4 acres and draining a 0.6 square mile watershed.
Although Dohma Dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections, its condition assessment is currently rated as poor. With a low hazard potential, the dam's last inspection in October 2019 highlighted the need for improvement. Despite its challenges, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region, demonstrating the importance of maintaining and upgrading critical infrastructure to ensure safety and sustainability for both the environment and local communities. Climate enthusiasts and water resource experts alike can appreciate the significance of Dohma Dam in mitigating flood risks and safeguarding the surrounding area from potential water-related hazards.
