The dam, constructed of concrete with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 10 feet and stretches 375 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet and a surface area of 13 acres, Stuard Dam plays a crucial role in water management and supply for the surrounding area.
Despite its importance in water resource management, Stuard Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and its hazard potential is listed as not available. However, the risk assessment categorizes it as having a high risk level. The dam does not have a spillway and is currently not regulated by the state, indicating potential vulnerabilities in emergency management and oversight. With its location in a high-risk category, further evaluation and monitoring may be necessary to ensure the safety and efficiency of Stuard Dam.
As a key component in the irrigation infrastructure of the region, Stuard Dam serves a vital role in water supply management. Its presence on the Concho River provides essential support for agricultural activities in the area. However, with its high risk classification and lack of certain safety features, ongoing attention and maintenance are essential to safeguard the integrity of the dam and the surrounding community. Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Stuard Dam to be a fascinating case study in the intersection of infrastructure, water management, and environmental risk assessment.
