Dallmann Dam, located in Franklin, Nebraska, is a privately-owned structure designed to reduce flood risks along the TR-W BR THOMPSON CREEK. Built in 1960, this earth dam stands at a height of 17.2 feet and spans 430 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 52.9 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources to ensure its structural integrity.

With a primary purpose of flood risk reduction, Dallmann Dam plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential inundation. Its stone core and soil foundation contribute to its stability, while its location in SWS22T3R14W serves as a key point for monitoring and maintenance. The dam's normal storage capacity of 13.9 acre-feet and surface area of 5.4 acres make it a significant feature in the local water resource management landscape.

As climate change continues to pose challenges to water resources, Dallmann Dam stands as a testament to the importance of effective flood control infrastructure. With its capacity to mitigate flood risks and protect downstream communities, this dam serves as a vital asset in safeguarding the environment and ensuring the sustainable management of water in the region.
