This dam serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction and other water resource management functions. With a height of 51 feet and a length of 500 feet, Klawitter Dam has a storage capacity of 41 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.2 square miles, making it a crucial piece of infrastructure in the region.
Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Klawitter Dam is inspected regularly to ensure its structural integrity and public safety. Despite being classified with a low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor as of the last inspection in June 2020. The dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures are currently unspecified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and potential improvements to mitigate any risks associated with the dam.
Located near the TR-Moores Creek in Omaha, Nebraska, Klawitter Dam plays a vital role in water resource management and flood control in the area. With ongoing inspections and regulatory oversight by the Nebraska DNR, efforts are being made to address the dam's poor condition assessment and enhance its overall safety and effectiveness for the surrounding community.
