Lipovsky Dam, located in Clay County, Nebraska, was completed in 1978 and is primarily used for irrigation purposes. Designed by the USDA NRCS, this private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet. The dam has a length of 513 feet and can hold a maximum storage capacity of 112 acre-feet, with a normal storage of 29 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the TR-Little Blue River and is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources.

Despite its low hazard potential, Lipovsky Dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with the last inspection date in May 2019. With a drainage area of 0.9 square miles and a surface area of 6 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region. However, its poor condition raises concerns about its long-term sustainability and the need for potential maintenance and rehabilitation measures to ensure its continued functionality. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should keep an eye on developments regarding Lipovsky Dam to ensure the safety and efficiency of this vital infrastructure.
