Tule Field Dam, also known as Tule Field Reservoir, is a state-owned structure located in Hiko, Nevada. Built in 1930 by the Nevada Fish & Game Commission and Summit Engineering, this Earth-type dam serves multiple purposes, including providing a fish and wildlife pond, irrigation, and recreational opportunities. The dam stands at a height of 11 feet, with a hydraulic height of 5 feet and a structural height of 11 feet.
With a normal storage capacity of 210 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 507 acre-feet, Tule Field Dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the area. The dam is situated on the White River and covers a surface area of 80 acres, with a drainage area of 990 acres. Despite its fair condition assessment and low hazard potential, the dam has undergone modifications in 1960 and 1963 to enhance its hydraulic and structural capabilities.
Managed by the Nevada Department of Water Resources, Tule Field Dam is inspected regularly to ensure its safety and reliability. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam continues to be an essential asset for fish and wildlife conservation, irrigation, and recreational activities in the region. Its historical significance and environmental impact make it a valuable resource for water and climate enthusiasts interested in sustainable water management practices.
