Built in 1978 by the USDA NRCS, this Earth dam stands at 24 feet high and has a storage capacity of 130 acre-feet. The dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation, providing essential water resources for agricultural activities in the region.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), Currie has a low hazard potential and is not currently rated for its condition assessment. Despite being in operation for over four decades, the dam has undergone only five inspections, with the last one recorded in October 2009. With a maximum discharge capacity of 296 cubic feet per second, the dam's controlled spillway and valve outlet gate ensure effective water management and risk mitigation.
Located in the Fort Worth District and under state jurisdiction, Currie is a vital infrastructure for water resource management in the area. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, understanding and maintaining dams like Currie are crucial for ensuring sustainable water usage and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
