Fiik, a federal-owned structure located in Johnson, Wyoming, serves multiple purposes including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. Constructed in 2007, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 38 feet with a hydraulic height of 33 feet and a length of 445 feet. With a maximum storage capacity of 36 acre-feet and a normal storage of 28 acre-feet, Fiik covers a surface area of 2.1 acres and has a drainage area of 0.01 square miles.
The dam on Fiik Draw features a valve outlet gate and an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet, designed to handle a maximum discharge of 555 cubic feet per second. Despite its low hazard potential, Fiik is assessed to be in fair condition as of the last inspection in April 2018. With a moderate risk level, the structure is subject to periodic inspections every five years to ensure its continued safety and functionality. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate impact, Fiik presents an intriguing case study of a multi-purpose dam designed to serve both human and ecological needs in a sensitive ecosystem.
Managed by the federal government and regulated by the State of Wyoming, Fiik exemplifies the collaborative effort required to balance water resource utilization with environmental conservation. With its strategic location along a local road in Congressional District 00, Wyoming, Fiik contributes to the region's water supply, fire protection, and wildlife habitat. As climate change continues to impact water availability and quality, structures like Fiik play a crucial role in sustainable water management practices, highlighting the importance of proper maintenance, risk assessment, and emergency preparedness for resilient water infrastructure in the face of evolving climate challenges.
