Enders, located in Wauneta, Nebraska, is a federal-owned irrigation reservoir on Frenchman Creek that was completed in 1951 by the Bureau of Reclamation. This Earth dam stands at 103 feet tall with a structural height of 134 feet and has a storage capacity of 80,730 acre-feet, primarily used for irrigation purposes. The reservoir covers a surface area of 2,557 acres and serves a drainage area of 1,097 acres.

Managed by the Bureau of Reclamation, Enders has a high hazard potential and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Despite its age, the condition assessment of the dam is not available, but regular inspections are conducted to ensure its safety and functionality. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) was last revised in June 2020, indicating ongoing efforts to prepare for potential emergencies and ensure the safety of surrounding communities. With its critical role in irrigation in the region and its historical significance, Enders remains a key water resource for the state of Nebraska and a site of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
