Dowdy Dam 6106, located in Jefferson County, Nebraska, was completed in 1980 and serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction along the TR-ROSE CREEK. This earth dam stands at a height of 31 feet, with a hydraulic height of 29.8 feet and a structural height of 41 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 44.7 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 1.5 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.4 acres.

Despite its low hazard potential, Dowdy Dam 6106 is currently assessed to be in poor condition as of the last inspection in April 2020. The dam is regulated by the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. It is crucial for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor the condition of this dam closely and advocate for necessary maintenance and risk management measures to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood risk reduction for the surrounding area.
