Summary

The dam, designed by USDA NRCS, stands at a height of 24 feet and spans a length of 760 feet along the TR-Sabana River. With a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet, Glover Dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.

Despite its age, Glover Dam has not been rated for its condition, but its hazard potential is considered to be high. The dam does not have a spillway and is equipped with one outlet gate. While it has not undergone recent inspections or risk assessments, the risk management measures for the dam are not specified in the data.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Glover Dam will find its history and design details intriguing. With its location in a region prone to water scarcity and drought, the significance of Glover Dam in supporting irrigation and water supply needs cannot be overstated. The data provides a glimpse into the engineering and management aspects of this essential infrastructure, highlighting the need for continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure its safety and effectiveness in the face of evolving climate challenges.

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. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
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. Investigations and studies are necessary.
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.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

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, environment 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.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
