The dam stands at 20 feet in height and stretches 190 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a surface area of 3.6 acres. Despite being regulated by the Department of Conservation and Recreation, the dam's hazard potential remains undetermined, and its condition is currently not rated. The dam has not undergone recent inspection or assessment, leaving its emergency action plan and risk management measures unclear.
While Jaloway Dam serves a vital function in supporting irrigation activities in the region, its lack of updated assessments and emergency preparedness raise concerns about its long-term reliability and safety. The dam's position within the Wilmington District adds complexity to its management and oversight, as it falls under the jurisdiction of state regulatory agencies. Climate enthusiasts and water resource experts may find interest in monitoring the developments surrounding Jaloway Dam to ensure its continued operation and address any potential risks or vulnerabilities that may arise in the future.
