This private-owned earth dam stands at a structural height of 26 feet and spans a length of 790 feet along the Long Hollow river stream. With a maximum storage capacity of 180 acre-feet, the dam plays a crucial role in water resource management in the region.
Despite its importance in water supply, Hudson Lake Dam lacks certain key features such as a spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's hazard potential is deemed as not available, indicating a lack of comprehensive risk assessment. However, the risk level is classified as high, highlighting the need for further evaluation and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the structure for both the surrounding community and the local ecosystem.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts continue to monitor and assess the impact of climate change on water infrastructure, Hudson Lake Dam stands as a focal point for understanding the challenges and opportunities in managing water resources in Texas. With its historical significance and critical role in water supply, the dam serves as a reminder of the ongoing need for sustainable water management practices and adaptive strategies in the face of evolving climate conditions.
