Summary
is a privately-owned water resource infrastructure located in Fannin, Texas, along the TR. Red River. This structure, regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), serves the primary purpose of flood risk reduction. With a dam height of 40 feet and a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet, Rains W.F. plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from potential flooding events.
Despite its low hazard potential and not yet rated condition assessment, Rains W.F. has been inspected periodically, with the last inspection conducted in July 1997. This structure, with a hydraulic height of 35 feet and a structural height of 40 feet, remains vital for managing water flow and ensuring the safety of nearby communities. With a close proximity to Red River, Rains W.F. stands as a testament to sustainable water management practices in the region.
As a key component of flood risk reduction efforts in Congressional District 04 of Texas, Rains W.F. represents the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience. With its strategic location and state-regulated status, this structure highlights the importance of proactive infrastructure development to mitigate potential water-related disasters. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Rains W.F. serves as a prime example of the critical role that dams and water management systems play in safeguarding communities against natural hazards.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams 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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
