Summary
It was completed in 1930 and serves a variety of purposes, although its primary purpose is classified as "Other." The dam is an Earth type structure with a height of 15 feet and a length of 700 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet.
The Warner Ws dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB) and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential rating. Despite its age, the structure remains in good condition and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. The risk assessment for Warner Ws indicates a very high risk level, necessitating close monitoring and potential risk management measures in the future to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam and surrounding area.
Overall, Warner Ws is an important water resource in Oklahoma, contributing to the local water supply and providing flood control for the area. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find Warner Ws an intriguing structure to study, given its historical significance, structural features, and risk profile. As climate change continues to impact water resources, understanding and managing the risks associated with dams like Warner Ws will be crucial for sustainable water management in the future.

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.
