Relvea Gss No 1 is a privately owned Earth dam situated in Johnson, Texas, designed by the USDA NRCS and completed in 1981.
The dam stands at a height of 29 feet and spans a length of 420 feet, providing a storage capacity of 48 acre-feet primarily for fire protection, stock, and small fish pond purposes. Located on the TR-Cottonwood Creek, this structure serves as a crucial resource for water management and conservation in the area.
Despite its significant role in water storage, the dam lacks certain safety features such as a spillway and has not been rated for its condition assessment. With a high hazard potential and a risk assessment rating of 2, there is a need for enhanced risk management measures and emergency preparedness. The structure's location in a high-risk zone underscores the importance of regular inspections and maintenance to ensure the safety of surrounding communities and the environment.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, understanding the critical role of infrastructure like Relvea Gss No 1 in water management is essential. By advocating for proper maintenance, risk assessment, and emergency response planning, we can work towards safeguarding our water resources and mitigating potential hazards associated with dams like Relvea Gss No 1. Collaborative efforts between stakeholders, regulatory agencies, and the community are vital in ensuring the sustainable use of water resources for future generations.
