While it lacks a spillway, the dam has one outlet gate for controlled water release. Its hazard potential is marked as "Not Available," but the risk assessment categorizes it as having a high risk level, indicating the importance of proper maintenance and monitoring.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Warner Dam offers a fascinating case study in the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and environmental risk assessment. As a key feature in the local landscape, understanding the functioning and condition of Warner Dam provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities in sustainable water resource management in the region.
