Completed in 1966, this embankment plays a crucial role in regulating water flow and storage, with a height of 17.2 meters and a storage capacity of 46 acre-feet. Situated in Hutchinson County, Texas, the reservoir serves as an off-channel structure, ensuring water availability for the city of Borger.
Managed by the local government and regulated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), the Borger Regulating Reservoir Embankment boasts a satisfactory condition assessment as of April 2021. With a spillway width of 5 meters and a maximum discharge capacity of 24 cubic meters per second, the reservoir is equipped to handle moderate levels of risk. Despite the lack of a hazard potential assessment, the embankment remains a vital infrastructure for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the region, highlighting the importance of proper design, operation, and maintenance in water management systems.
