Strong No. 4 is a private irrigation dam located in Albany County, Wyoming, along the Strong Creek. Built in 1958, this earth dam stands at a height of 28 feet and has a hydraulic height of 22 feet. With a storage capacity of 89 acre-feet, the dam serves the primary purpose of irrigation and has a spillway width of 35 feet.

Despite its low hazard potential, Strong No. 4 is currently in poor condition and was last inspected in August 2020. The dam's risk assessment indicates a moderate risk level, with outdated emergency action plans and inadequate risk management measures. With a history of state regulation and inspection, the dam's structural integrity and safety are of concern, highlighting the need for proactive maintenance and rehabilitation efforts to ensure the long-term sustainability of water resources in the region.

As a key feature in the local water infrastructure, Strong No. 4 underscores the importance of effective dam management practices in the face of changing climate conditions. With its location in a critical watershed and potential impact on downstream communities, the dam's condition assessment and risk mitigation strategies are crucial for safeguarding water resources and enhancing climate resilience in the area.
