Manzonie Dam, located in Nye County, Nevada, was completed in 1920 and serves primarily for irrigation purposes. The dam is an earth-fill structure with a height of 25 feet and a length of 367 feet, providing a storage capacity of 240 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is currently assessed to be in poor condition, indicating a need for maintenance and repairs.
The dam, situated on the Currant Creek off-stream, is privately owned and regulated by the Nevada Department of Water Resources. With a drainage area of 5 square miles and a maximum discharge of 10 cubic feet per second, the dam plays a crucial role in water management for agricultural activities in the region. Despite its outdated design and poor condition, the dam continues to support local farming operations and contribute to the overall water resource management in the area.
Although the dam lacks a spillway and has only one outlet valve, it remains a key infrastructure for water storage and distribution in the region. With a high risk assessment due to its poor condition, there is a pressing need for improved maintenance and risk management measures to ensure the safety and efficiency of the Manzonie Dam for both agricultural and environmental purposes.
