Summary
Constructed in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 12.5 feet and has a storage capacity of 82.5 acre-feet. With a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet and covering a surface area of 10.3 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources for agricultural needs in the region.
Managed by a private owner, Krogh North Dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a low hazard potential and a satisfactory condition assessment, the dam continues to support the surrounding community by providing a reliable source of water for irrigation. Situated along TR-Thawes Creek, this water infrastructure project is a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
As climate change poses challenges to water resources, dams like Krogh North Dam play a crucial role in mitigating water scarcity and ensuring a stable supply for agricultural activities. With its earth structure and stone core design, this dam stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and the importance of water infrastructure in adapting to a changing climate. As we look towards the future, the maintenance and proper management of dams like Krogh North Dam will be essential in safeguarding water resources for generations to come.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
