Located in Dawson County, Nebraska, the Beattie Diversion Dam stands as a crucial infrastructure built in 2007 by USDA NRCS to manage the flow of the TR-Wood River. The dam, primarily serving flood risk reduction purposes, is classified as an earth dam with a height of 12 feet and a length of 400 feet. With a storage capacity of 58 acre-feet, the Beattie Diversion Dam plays a vital role in regulating water levels and protecting the surrounding areas from potential flooding.

Managed by private entities and regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, the Beattie Diversion Dam has been deemed to pose a low hazard potential, with a satisfactory condition assessment as of the last inspection in April 2020. Despite its modest surface area of 3 acres and drainage area of 0.3 square miles, the dam efficiently controls water flow with a maximum discharge of 2 cubic feet per second. The dam's location within the NES11T11R20W coordinates ensures effective water resource management in the region, contributing to the overall climate resilience and water sustainability efforts in Nebraska.

As a significant component of the Kansas City District's water infrastructure, the Beattie Diversion Dam remains a testament to the collaborative efforts between private and regulatory agencies in ensuring the safety and efficiency of water resource management. With its strategic design and operational capabilities, the dam continues to play a vital role in mitigating flood risks and maintaining water security for the communities along the TR-Wood River. This structure stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of climate change challenges.
