Harmon Reservoir Dam, located in Churchill, Nevada, serves as a vital water resource for irrigation in the region. Managed by the Federal government, it also supports fish and wildlife ponds, flood risk reduction, and recreational activities. The dam, primarily made of earth with a stone core and soil foundation, stands at a height of 9 feet and stretches over 12,000 feet in length.
With a storage capacity of 800 acre-feet and a surface area of 250 acres, Harmon Reservoir Dam plays a crucial role in water management along the Carson River. Its controlled spillway and outlet gates ensure proper water flow and flood control. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, the dam undergoes regular inspections to maintain its safety standards.
Congressional District 02, Nevada, under the representation of Mark E. Amodei (R), oversees the operations and maintenance of Harmon Reservoir Dam. While the dam's risk assessment is deemed very high, prompt risk management measures are in place to mitigate any potential hazards. As a key infrastructure for water resource management in the area, Harmon Reservoir Dam stands as a testament to sustainable water usage and environmental conservation efforts in Nevada.
