Jung Dam, located in Cheyenne, Nebraska, is a significant earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1962 for the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. This private-owned structure stands at a height of 24 feet and has a hydraulic height of 23 feet, with a structural height of 27 feet. With a storage capacity of 156 acre-feet and a drainage area of 1.5 square miles, Jung Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area and protecting the surrounding community from potential flooding events.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Jung Dam has been inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The dam has been assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in June 2018, with a significant hazard potential. The dam's location on TR-LODGEPOLE CREEK and its close proximity to POTTER make it a key element in the local water management system. As a vital infrastructure for flood risk reduction, Jung Dam highlights the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate patterns.

With a drainage area of 1.5 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 387 cubic feet per second, Jung Dam serves as a critical structure in the Omaha District's water management system. The dam's earth design, stone core, and soil foundation contribute to its resilience and effectiveness in flood control. As climate change continues to impact water resources, structures like Jung Dam demonstrate the importance of proactive risk management and investment in infrastructure to ensure the safety and resilience of communities in the face of changing climate conditions.
