Village Gardens Dam, located in Lincoln, Nebraska, was completed in 2006 by Olsson Associates and serves as a crucial element in flood risk reduction along the TR-BEAL SLOUGH river. This private dam stands at a height of 26 feet and has a structural height of 33 feet, providing a maximum storage capacity of 51 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is flood risk reduction, with a normal storage capacity of 20 acre-feet and a drainage area of 0.27 square miles.

The dam's hazard potential is classified as high, but its condition assessment as of August 2020 was deemed satisfactory. Managed by a private owner, Village Gardens Dam falls under the regulatory oversight of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources. With a latitude of 40.73819 and longitude of -96.636489, this earth dam with a stone core plays a significant role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events. As an important infrastructure project, Village Gardens Dam is a testament to the collaboration between private entities and state regulatory agencies in safeguarding water resources and mitigating climate-related risks.
