Garey Dam, located in Furnas County, Nebraska, is a vital water resource infrastructure designed by USDA NRCS for irrigation purposes. Completed in 1941, this earth dam stands at a height of 25 feet and stretches to a length of 330 feet, with a storage capacity of 58.5 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Beaver Creek, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its importance, Garey Dam is currently rated as having a poor condition assessment, with a low hazard potential. The dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure safety and compliance. The last inspection in October 2018 highlighted the need for maintenance and improvement to enhance the dam's structural integrity and overall performance.
With its historical significance and critical role in irrigation, Garey Dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing challenges in maintaining and managing water resources amidst changing climate conditions. Efforts to address the dam's condition and enhance its resilience are essential to safeguarding the local community and agricultural activities that rely on its water storage capabilities.
