Vavricka Dam, located in Webster, Nebraska, along the TR-Crooked Creek, was completed in 1960 with the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The privately-owned earth dam stands at a height of 11.8 feet and has a storage capacity of 56.4 acre-feet, serving to protect the surrounding area from potential flooding events. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is currently rated as poor, with the last inspection conducted in May 2017.

Managed by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, Vavricka Dam is regulated and inspected by state authorities to ensure its structural integrity and effectiveness in flood control. With a drainage area of 0.63 square miles and a surface area of 9.7 acres, the dam plays a crucial role in managing water flow and protecting the local community from flood risks. While the dam's condition is currently assessed as poor, ongoing maintenance and potential rehabilitation efforts may be needed to enhance its performance and resilience in the face of changing climate conditions.
