Carson River Diversion, located in Fallon, Nevada, is a federal-owned structure managed by the Bureau of Reclamation to primarily reduce flood risks along the Carson River. Completed in 1904, this concrete dam stands at a height of 21 feet and has a hydraulic height of 14 feet, with a storage capacity of 750 acre-feet. The dam spans 241 feet in length and covers a surface area of 60 acres, serving irrigation purposes in addition to flood risk reduction.

With a controlled spillway width of 200 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 30,000 cubic feet per second, Carson River Diversion boasts a low hazard potential and is under the regulatory oversight of the Bureau of Reclamation. Despite its age, the dam's condition assessment is not available, and its risk assessment indicates a very high risk ranking. Emergency action plans and risk management measures for the structure are not currently documented, highlighting the need for further monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of this vital water resource infrastructure.
