   There's a simple solution to this: using r.contour I created a contour map
of the area. I can mark the 'dam' elevation and calculate areas of higher
elevation. That should suit the purpose.

   Without a perenial stream, or even stream channels, normal hydrological
models have nothing with which to work. So, the above solution is the most
parsimonious one.

Thanks, all,
