Seaberg Levee No 2, located in Harris County, Texas, was completed in 1965 with a primary purpose of irrigation.

This privately-owned earth levee stands at a height of 10 feet and spans 6000 feet along the Off Ch-Cedar Bayou. With a storage capacity of 790 acre-feet, it serves as a vital structure for managing water resources in the area.
Despite being regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and undergoing state inspections and enforcement, the levee's condition assessment is currently not rated. The lack of a spillway and limited information on its hazard potential raises concerns about its ability to withstand extreme weather events. However, with no associated structures and only one outlet gate, the levee plays a crucial role in protecting the surrounding area from flooding and ensuring a stable water supply for irrigation.
As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the risk assessment for Seaberg Levee No 2 remains high. With no emergency action plan in place and limited risk management measures identified, stakeholders must prioritize the maintenance and monitoring of this structure to safeguard against potential hazards and ensure the resilience of the local water system.
