Woodward Dam No 2, located in Coryell, Texas, serves primarily for irrigation purposes.
This private-owned Earth dam, completed in 1962, stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. The dam, constructed with a buttress core type, spans 370 feet in length along the TR-Settlement Branch river or stream.
Despite its age, Woodward Dam No 2 has not undergone recent inspections or maintenance assessments, with its hazard potential listed as 'Not Available' and condition assessment as 'Not Rated'. However, the risk assessment categorizes the dam as high risk (2) due to the lack of current data on its structural integrity. The dam does not have a spillway and features only one outlet gate.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Woodward Dam No 2 represents a historical piece of infrastructure that continues to play a vital role in supporting irrigation in the region. As concerns around dam safety and maintenance grow, closer attention and action may be necessary to ensure the reliability and resilience of this essential water resource structure.
