For more information about the Dams & Levees, please visit the following IDNR Web site - <https://www.in.gov/dnr/water/2458.htm>
The following is excerpted from metadata provided by IDNR-DOW about the "DOW Unity Database" that contains all dam locations that have been identified within Indiana, including regulated and unregulated structures:
"This dataset is a visual representation of Dams in the state of Indiana. All dams identified in the state are within this dataset. Not all dams are regulated by the DNR, only those falling within the requirements of state statute and signified as "Y" in the State_Regulated field. All dam positions determined by visual means of current ortho imagery and the intersection with NHD stream lines."
"This dataset contains the information pulled on an annual basis from the Division of Waters Unity database. Locations are the intersection of the high resolution NHD stream line and the visual inspection of the dam on the current Ortho imagery for Indiana. This dataset contains "ALL" dams and lake control structures listed in the DOW Unity Database. The state regualted dams can be filtered by using the "State_Regulated" attribute field by choosing " = Y". Most visual maps used within DOW have symbols set to designate the Dam Hazard Potential of "Low", "Significant", and "High". See IC 14-27-7.5 Regulation of Dams. Updated 3/17/20"
