The Two Rivers Dam is a dry dam in southeastern New Mexico, sixteen miles west-southwest of the city of Roswell. It consists of two dams separated by a strip of higher land approximately 1.5 miles wide. Typically, no water is stored behind the dams; they serve primarily for flood control. However, d
uring spring runoff, water backs up behind the northern dam. This creates a small oasis in the lowlands behind the dam. Both dams are earth-fill structures with coarse rubble on their faces to prevent erosion. The crests of both dams are 4,058 feet above sea level. During a flood, the reservoirs remain separate until the water level reaches 4,000 feet above sea level, at which point they merge into a single large reservoir.
