Gleason Reservoir No. 2, also known as Valley Reservoir, is a privately owned water storage facility located in Laramie, Wyoming. This reservoir, completed in 1909, serves primarily for irrigation purposes along Lone Tree Creek offstream. With a capacity of 230 acre-feet, it provides a vital water source for agricultural activities in the region.
Despite its historical significance, Gleason Reservoir No. 2 is facing some challenges in terms of its condition assessment. The dam is classified as having a poor condition, with a low hazard potential, and last inspected in September 2017. The reservoir's emergency action plan and risk management measures are also not clearly outlined, indicating a need for further evaluation and potential improvements to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Gleason Reservoir No. 2 serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and monitoring aging infrastructure to ensure water security and resilience in the face of changing environmental conditions. As climate change continues to impact water resources, it is crucial to address the vulnerabilities of such structures and implement proactive measures to safeguard against potential risks and ensure sustainable water management for the future.
