The USDA-ARS Experiment Lake Dam in Woodward has been redesigned to include a new spillway design to maintain base flow and limit overflow during a flood. The spillway design is based on standardized guidance developed by ARS scientists at the Agroclimate and Hydraulic Engineering Research Unit in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
