The Asamera Effluent Storage Dam, also known as the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center Reclaim Reservoir, is a private-owned structure located in Storey County, Nevada. Completed in 2001, this earth dam stands at a height of 32 feet, with a hydraulic height of 29 feet, and a structural height of 34 feet. Its primary purpose is for irrigation and other uses, with a maximum storage capacity of 161.5 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 16.7 acre-feet.

Situated near the Truckee River, the Asamera Dam has a surface area of 150 acres and a drainage area of 1 square mile. It lacks a spillway but is equipped with two valve outlet gates. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment as of November 2021, the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential and risk level. The Nevada Division of Water Resources regulates and inspects the dam, ensuring compliance with state guidelines and enforcement measures.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Asamera Effluent Storage Dam offers a fascinating case study in dam engineering and management. Its location in the arid Nevada landscape highlights the importance of efficient water storage and utilization for industrial and agricultural purposes. The dam's design, construction, and operation provide valuable insights into sustainable water management practices in the face of increasing environmental challenges and changing climate conditions.
