Conroe Dam, located in Montgomery, Texas, stands as a vital structure for water resource management in the region. Completed in 1973, this earth dam spans 11,800 feet across the West Fork San Jacinto River, providing irrigation and water supply to the area. With a maximum storage capacity of 706,970 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 416,228 acre-feet, Conroe Dam plays a crucial role in ensuring water availability for agricultural and municipal needs.

Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), Conroe Dam has undergone multiple modifications over the years to enhance its hydraulic and structural integrity. The dam boasts a controlled spillway with a width of 200 feet and outlet gates for controlled water release.
