Carl Bsetzler Dam, located in Newberry, South Carolina, is a privately owned structure designed by the USDA NRCS for the primary purpose of irrigation. Completed in 1994, this earth-type dam stands at a height of 28 feet and spans 135 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 20 acre-feet. The dam is situated on TR-Gilders Creek and is regulated by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control.

Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is marked as poor, with the last inspection in October 2017 revealing areas in need of improvement. The dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, presenting a moderate risk level. With a history of moderate risk management measures in place, including an inspection frequency of every 5 years, the dam serves as a vital resource for irrigation in the region. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Carl Bsetzler Dam stands as a key infrastructure supporting agricultural activities in South Carolina.
