Julian Waters Lake Dam dam
Julian Waters Lake Dam
Julian Waters Lake Dam in Choctaw, Alabama is a privately owned structure primarily used for recreation. Situated in the Mobile District, this earth dam has a significant hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. The dam has not undergone any inspection, and there are no records of its height, volume, storage, or other key dimensions.
Despite the lack of detailed information on the dam's specifications, its location in a picturesque setting hints at its potential for providing a serene recreational experience for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With no state jurisdiction or regulation, the dam's maintenance and safety measures remain a mystery. However, its presence in the beautiful landscape of Choctaw County, surrounded by nature and water, may intrigue those interested in exploring unique water resource structures with a touch of mystery and adventure.
While Julian Waters Lake Dam may not have a fully documented history or detailed engineering specifics, its secluded location in Alabama offers an opportunity for visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature in a setting shaped by human intervention. Whether it's for a leisurely day of fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the tranquility of the surroundings, this dam presents an interesting case study for enthusiasts curious about the intersection of water resources, climate, and recreational infrastructure.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Plan around the weather

About Julian Waters Lake Dam
Where does the data for Julian Waters Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Significant hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
