About Wellington-napoleon Watershed Dam K-21
The primary purpose of Wellington-napoleon Watershed Dam K-21 is grade stabilization. Grade stabilization dams prevent erosion by reducing the slope and velocity of water flowing through a channel. They're commonly used to stop gullies from deepening and to protect downstream land and infrastructure. The dam is owned by Wlntn-nap Wrsd Subdist (local government). It impounds the Tr-sni-a-bar Creek near Henrietta.
The dam stands 27 feet tall and stretches 550 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 35 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 171 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 1,700 square miles. Completed in 1967, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
