Oshoto, a privately owned irrigation dam located in Camp Crook, South Dakota, plays a crucial role in water resource management in the area. Completed in 1954, this earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a storage capacity of 339 acre-feet, primarily for irrigation purposes. Situated on the Little Missouri River, Oshoto's spillway width of 100 feet ensures efficient water flow during peak periods.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Oshoto is subject to regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its structural integrity and operational efficiency. With a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is equipped with a slide gate outlet for water release. As a key component of the local water infrastructure, Oshoto serves as a testament to the importance of sustainable water management practices in the face of changing climate conditions.
