Designed by James L Bain, this private-owned Earth dam stands at a height of 24 feet and has a hydraulic height of 21 feet. With a storage capacity of 340 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in providing water resources for the surrounding area.
Situated on the TR-San Bernard River, the E S Rothrock Trust Lake No 1 Dam is operated and inspected by the state of Texas, with no federal regulations in place. The dam's hazard potential is not available, and its condition assessment is not rated. With a high risk level of 2, there is a need for effective risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure.
Despite its simple design and lack of a spillway, the E S Rothrock Trust Lake No 1 Dam remains a vital component of the local irrigation system. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is essential to monitor and maintain dams like this to ensure sustainable water management practices for the future.
