Located in Seward, Nebraska, Krieser Road Dam is a local government-owned structure designed for flood risk reduction along the TR-N BR MIDDLE CREEK. Completed in 1987, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 29 feet with a structural height of 35 feet and a length of 600 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 251 acre-feet and a normal storage of 66 acre-feet, the dam serves the purpose of mitigating flood risks in the area.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Krieser Road Dam has a low hazard potential and is assessed to be in satisfactory condition as of the last inspection in April 2018. The dam features a stone core and soil foundation, with a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a drainage area of 1.3 square miles. Despite its age, the dam continues to meet state regulatory standards for permitting, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring the safety of nearby residents and the surrounding environment.

Congressional District 01's representative, Jeff Fortenberry, oversees this dam within the Kansas City District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. With a focus on flood risk reduction, Krieser Road Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the community of Lincoln from potential water-related disasters. Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate the engineering and infrastructure behind this essential piece of water management infrastructure in Nebraska.
