Ms03933 Lake Dam dam
Ms03933 Lake Dam
Ms03933 Lake Dam in Mississippi is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for recreation purposes. With a dam height of 21 feet and a storage capacity of 99 acre-feet, this structure offers a picturesque surface area of 7 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy. The dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and has a low hazard potential, making it a safe and popular destination for outdoor activities.
Located in Pearl River County, Mississippi, this dam is part of the Mobile District and is not under the jurisdiction of any federal agency. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, indicating a need for further assessment and potential maintenance. With uncontrolled spillways and no associated structures, Ms03933 Lake Dam provides an opportunity for visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature while also being mindful of the potential risks associated with its operation.
Although the dam's emergency action plan status and risk management measures are not specified, its status as a privately owned recreational facility highlights the importance of responsible stewardship and maintenance. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, enthusiasts and stakeholders are encouraged to stay informed about the condition and regulation of dams like Ms03933 Lake Dam to ensure their safety and longevity for future generations to enjoy.

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
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Ms03933 Lake Dam
Where does the data for Ms03933 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 Low 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.
