Glen Means, also known as 76 Reservoir, is a private water resource in Johnson, Wyoming, designed by Charles K. Wolz. Completed in 1992, this earth dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with a storage capacity of 220 acre-feet and a surface area of 18 acres. The dam stands at 28 feet high, with a spillway width of 235 feet, and is regulated and inspected by the Wyoming State Engineer's Office.

Located along the Seventy Six Draw river, Glen Means has a low hazard potential and is in fair condition as of the last inspection in August 2018. Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam meets regulatory guidelines and has emergency action plans in place. Managed by a private owner, this water resource plays a vital role in supporting agricultural activities in the area, contributing to the local water supply and ecosystem.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Glen Means represents a unique example of private water infrastructure in Wyoming, blending engineering innovation with environmental stewardship. Its presence underscores the importance of sustainable water management practices and the need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety and reliability of our water resources in the face of changing climate conditions. With its picturesque location and crucial role in supporting local agriculture, Glen Means serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of water, climate, and human activities in shaping our landscapes.
