Pot is a privately owned irrigation structure located in Woodland, Utah, along the North Fork of the Provo River. Built in 1933, this earth dam has a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a structural height of 9 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet for agricultural purposes. The dam is regulated by the Utah Division of Water Rights, ensuring that it meets state inspection and enforcement standards.

As a key player in the agricultural landscape of Woodland, this earth dam continues to fulfill its primary purpose of irrigation, showcasing the sustainable use of water for economic and environmental benefits. As efforts to monitor and maintain the dam persist, Pot remains a symbol of responsible water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
