For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Howard #2 offers a fascinating case study in private dam ownership and recreational infrastructure. Its location along Tribjakes Creek in Tennessee provides a snapshot of the diverse landscape of water management across the United States, highlighting the importance of monitoring and assessing the risk associated with such structures for both public safety and environmental preservation.
