Klodt, located in Weston County, Wyoming, is a privately owned earth dam primarily used for irrigation purposes on Mush Creek. Completed in 1920, this structure stands at a height of 26 feet and has a storage capacity of 1708 acre-feet. Despite its low hazard potential, Klodt is currently in poor condition, as assessed in July 2017, with an inspection frequency of 5 years.

Even though Klodt's spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 400 feet, the overall risk assessment for this dam is moderate. The dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk management measures are not clearly defined in the available data. With Liz Cheney representing Congressional District 00 in Wyoming, Klodt serves as a vital water resource for irrigation in the region, highlighting the critical role it plays in water management in the area.

As climate change continues to impact water resources, it becomes essential to prioritize the maintenance and assessment of structures like Klodt to ensure their resilience in the face of evolving environmental challenges. With an emphasis on enhancing safety protocols and infrastructure improvements, Klodt can continue to fulfill its irrigation purpose effectively while mitigating potential risks associated with its aging condition.
