Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207 dam
Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207
Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207 is a state-owned earth dam located in St. Charles, Missouri, along the East Branch of Crooked Creek. Built in 1958 for irrigation purposes, the dam stands at a height of 29 feet and has a storage capacity of 776 acre-feet. With a surface area of 50 acres and draining an area of 300 acres, this dam plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Despite its age, Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207 has a high hazard potential and is currently not rated for its condition. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in 1979, highlighting the need for regular monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and effectiveness. With its location in an area prone to climate variability and extreme weather events, the dam's role in mitigating flood risks and providing irrigation water underscores the importance of sustainable water resource management practices.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the significance of Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207 in the context of water security and climate resilience is essential. With its history dating back to over six decades, this dam serves as a vital infrastructure for supporting agriculture and water supply needs in the region. Moving forward, prioritizing regular inspections, risk assessments, and maintenance measures will be crucial for ensuring the safety and longevity of this dam in the face of changing climate conditions and evolving water resource challenges.

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.

About Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207
Where does the data for Univ Mo Exp Farm Dam- Mononame 207 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 High 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.
