Haskell Club Dam dam
Haskell Club Dam
Haskell Club Dam, located in Haskell, Texas, stands as a testament to early 20th-century engineering, completed in 1910 for the primary purpose of irrigation. This earth dam, with a structural height of 19 feet and a length of 602 feet, harnesses the waters of TR-Red Creek to provide vital water resources to the surrounding area. Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, the dam's high hazard potential indicates the need for careful monitoring and risk management measures.
With a maximum storage capacity of 210 acre-feet and a normal storage of 60 acre-feet, Haskell Club Dam plays a crucial role in supporting agricultural activities in the region. However, the lack of spillway and drainage area raises concerns about the dam's ability to handle extreme weather events and prevent potential flooding. The dam's condition assessment remains unrated, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and the safety of downstream communities.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Haskell Club Dam serves as a fascinating case study in the intersection of historical infrastructure, water management, and risk assessment. Its location in the Fort Worth District underlines the significance of understanding and addressing the challenges posed by aging dams in the face of changing climate patterns and increasing pressure on water resources. By exploring the history and current state of Haskell Club Dam, we can gain valuable insights into the ongoing efforts to safeguard our water infrastructure and adapt to a rapidly evolving climate landscape.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Haskell Club Dam
Where does the data for Haskell Club Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Not Available hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
