Humidity
is a privately owned dam located in Osage, Oklahoma, near the city of Bartlesville. Built in 1940, this earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 120 acre-feet. The dam is primarily used for purposes other than flood control or water supply, with a controlled spillway and a low hazard potential rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Coe D.E. is inspected every 5 years, with the last inspection date recorded in August 2006. Despite being in a very high-risk area, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and inundation maps are not currently in place. The dam structure consists of stone core and soil foundation, with a single valve outlet gate for water release.
Located on the TR-Rock Creek, a tributary in the Tulsa District, Coe D.E. serves as a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the region. Enthusiasts interested in the intersection of water resources and climate change will find this dam site intriguing for its historical significance and potential risk factors that need to be addressed for sustainable water management practices.
