Jennings Pond, located in Windham Township, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned reservoir with a primary purpose of recreation. This Earth dam, completed in 1900, stands at a height of 11 feet and stretches 169 feet in length, providing a surface area of 37 acres for water enthusiasts to enjoy. With a normal storage capacity of 147 acre-feet, the reservoir is fed by the Little Mehoopany Creek and is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Despite its picturesque setting, Jennings Pond poses a high hazard potential and has been assessed to be in poor condition. The last inspection in October 2020 revealed the need for improvements to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam. With an inspection frequency of once a year, the reservoir's emergency action plan and risk management measures are currently undetermined. Climate and water resource enthusiasts may take interest in the challenges faced by Jennings Pond and the potential opportunities for enhancing its resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions.
