Situated along the TR-North Canadian River, Widney Irrigation Reservoir is equipped with a controlled spillway and a single valve outlet gate. Despite being categorized as low hazard potential, the reservoir is assessed to have a very high risk level, signaling the importance of effective risk management measures. The last inspection of the structure was conducted in July 2009, with an inspection frequency of 5 years. With its vital role in irrigation and water resource management, Widney Irrigation Reservoir serves as a crucial asset in the region's agricultural activities and climate resilience efforts.
