The North Pine Dam was designed with little flood mitigation capacity in mind, being designed only for water storage. As such, during flood seasons the location of the dam spillway causes the flooding and closure of Youngs Crossing Road. [3] Flood conditions last affected the dam catchment in October 2010, and prior to that 1991, 1989 and 2000 ...
Baroon Pocket Dam's primary use is for town water supply for Maroochy and Caloundra. An intake tower allows water to flow from the dam through a 2.5-metre (8.2 ft) wide, 2.5-kilometre (1.6 mi) long tunnel under the Blackall Range. [8] Water is then distributed by UnityWater for a range of purposes. The dam and catchment is managed by Seqwater.
The dam creates a reservoir, Lake Clarendon, with a storage capacity of 24,276 megalitres (5.340 × 10 9 imp gal; 6.413 × 10 9 US gal) and a maximum surface area of 339 hectares (840 acres).
