While currently not providing any storage capacity, the dam serves as a vital structure for safeguarding the surrounding area from potential flood events. With its strategic location and design, this flood control structure stands as a key asset in mitigating flood risks in the region and maintaining the safety of residents and ecosystems along the Pariette Draw.
