Rehtus Dam, located in Webster, Nebraska, is a privately owned structure that serves multiple purposes, including flood risk reduction. Completed in 2000, this earth dam stands at a height of 13.7 meters and has a storage capacity of 62.7 million gallons. The dam spans 280 meters in length and is situated on TR-BEAVER CREEK, within the jurisdiction of the Nebraska Department of Natural Resources.

Despite its low hazard potential, Rehtus Dam has been assessed as being in poor condition as of April 2017. With a history of inspections every five years, the dam's maintenance and upkeep are crucial to ensure its continued effectiveness in flood mitigation and water resource management. While the dam does not have a spillway or outlet gates, its location and design play a vital role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.

As a key infrastructure in flood risk reduction efforts, Rehtus Dam stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management. With ongoing inspections and maintenance, this structure continues to play a crucial role in safeguarding the community and the environment from the impacts of extreme weather events and climate variability.
