Reuter Dam, located in Pawnee County, Nebraska, along Turkey Creek, is a privately owned structure primarily used for flood risk reduction. Completed in 2004, this earth dam stands at a height of 29 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet and a structural height of 32 feet. With a capacity of 79 acre-feet, this dam serves the purpose of mitigating flood risks in the area, with a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in June 2016.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Reuter Dam is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency. The dam has a drainage area of 0.32 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 43 cubic feet per second. Despite its relatively small surface area of 4 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Reuter Dam's design includes a stone core and soil foundation, contributing to its overall stability and functionality.

Owned and operated by a private entity, Reuter Dam is situated within Congressional District 03, Nebraska, represented by Adrian Smith. While the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates, it has a length of 479 feet and a normal storage capacity of 17 acre-feet. With a five-year inspection frequency and a risk assessment indicating a low hazard potential, Reuter Dam continues to serve as a vital infrastructure for flood control and water resource management in the region.
