Resler Reservoir Dam Reservoir Report
Last Updated: March 3, 2026
Resler Reservoir Dam, located in Maverick County, Texas, is a privately owned earth dam that was completed in 1973.
Summary
The dam, standing at a height of 21 feet and with a length of 16,000 feet, serves a primary purpose of "Other," with a storage capacity of 63 acre-feet. The reservoir is situated on Quemado Creek and is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Despite being classified as having a high risk potential, the dam's condition has not been rated and its hazard potential is listed as "Not Available." The dam does not have a spillway and only one outlet gate. The last inspection of Resler Reservoir Dam took place in 1985, indicating a need for updated assessments and emergency action plans to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure in the face of potential climate challenges.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Resler Reservoir Dam presents an intriguing case study in dam management and risk assessment. As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, understanding the condition and potential vulnerabilities of structures like Resler Reservoir Dam is crucial for ensuring the safety of downstream communities and the sustainable management of water resources in the region.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo 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
HighDams 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.
