About Hardenbrook Dam
The primary purpose of Hardenbrook Dam is flood risk reduction. The dam is designed to control downstream flooding by temporarily storing excess water during storms and releasing it at a controlled rate. The dam is owned by Troy Hardenbrook (private). It impounds the Tr-beaver Creek.
