Moore Dam 2, located in Butler, Nebraska, is a vital structure owned by the local government and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. Completed in 1970, this earth dam stands at a height of 17.7 feet and serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 68.9 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Big Blue River, Moore Dam 2 plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, covering a drainage area of 0.53 square miles.

Managed by the Omaha District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Moore Dam 2 has a low hazard potential and is currently deemed to be in "not rated" condition. The dam's last inspection in April 2018 showed that it meets regulatory standards, with a recommended inspection frequency of every 5 years. Despite its modest size, this structure plays a key role in water management and irrigation in the area, ensuring a stable supply of water for agricultural needs. As climate change continues to impact water resources, the importance of structures like Moore Dam 2 in sustainable water management practices cannot be understated.
