Henrich Dam, located in Box Butte, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS with a height of 15.2 meters and a length of 444 meters. Completed in 1972, this earth dam serves multiple purposes including flood risk reduction and other water resource management objectives. With a maximum storage capacity of 85.8 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 26.6 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in regulating the flow of the TR-S BR Point of Rocks Creek.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Henrich Dam is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. Although classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition remains unrated as of the last inspection in April 2020. With a drainage area of 2.23 square kilometers and a surface area of 6.7 hectares, the dam contributes to water resource management in the Alliance area and beyond. Climate and water resource enthusiasts can appreciate the role of Henrich Dam in mitigating flood risks and supporting sustainable water management practices in the region.
