Wasserburger Dam 2108 is a privately owned earth dam located in Sioux, Nebraska, with a primary purpose of providing fire protection, stock, or a small fish pond. Constructed in 1962 by USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 16.2 feet and has a storage capacity of 60.9 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Long Branch Creek, the dam serves as a vital resource for the surrounding area, with a drainage area of 0.75 square miles and a maximum discharge rate of 307 cubic feet per second.

Despite its important role in the local ecosystem, Wasserburger Dam 2108 is currently in poor condition, as indicated by a recent inspection in 2019. With a hazard potential classified as low, there is a need for maintenance and upgrades to ensure the dam's structural integrity and continued functionality. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) and risk management measures are currently lacking, highlighting the importance of proactive measures to address any potential safety concerns.

In the realm of water resource and climate conservation, Wasserburger Dam 2108 serves as a focal point for discussions on dam safety and maintenance. As part of the larger ecosystem, it is crucial to prioritize the upkeep and monitoring of such infrastructure to prevent potential risks and ensure the sustainable management of water resources. The involvement of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in regulating and inspecting the dam underscores the collaborative efforts needed to safeguard our water sources for future generations.
