Annandale Dam, located in Annandale On Hudson, New York, was completed in 1846 and serves primarily for irrigation purposes.
This concrete structure stands at a height of 11 feet and has a length of 142 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 21 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the Saw Kill River and has a surface area of 3 acres, making it a vital resource for water management in the region.
Despite its historical significance, Annandale Dam is currently rated as having poor condition assessment and significant hazard potential. The dam is under state regulation and inspection by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, with a last inspection date in June 2020. The spillway of the dam is uncontrolled with a width of 120 feet, raising concerns about its ability to manage high water levels during extreme weather events and potential flooding risks.
With its moderate risk assessment and proximity to urban areas, Annandale Dam poses a critical challenge for local authorities in terms of maintenance and emergency preparedness. Water resource and climate enthusiasts are closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety and sustainability of this important infrastructure in Dutchess County, New York.
