The maximum water depth is 41.8 metres (137 ft) and at 100% capacity the dam wall impounds enough water from the Barron River to create a lake approximately 75% the size of Sydney Harbour with a capacity of 438,919 megalitres (15,500.3 × 10 ^ 6 cu ft) of water at 670 metres (2,200 ft) AHD. The surface area of the Lake Tinaroo is 3,500 hectares ...
Although the term "trophic index" is commonly applied to lakes, any surface water body may be indexed. The TSI of a water body is rated on a scale from zero to one hundred. [1] Under the TSI scale, water bodies may be defined as: [1] oligotrophic (TSI 0–40, having the least amount of biological productivity, "good" water quality);
The Tinaroo Hydro Power Station is an electricity power station in Tinaroo, Tablelands Region, Queensland, Australia. It is located at the spillway of Tinaroo Dam. It has been designed to take advantage of water being released for irrigation, and water released when the dam is full. [1] It was opened in 2004. [2]
Freshwater environmental quality parameters are those chemical, physical and biological parameters that can be used to characterise a freshwater body. Because almost all water bodies are dynamic in their composition, the relevant quality parameters are typically expressed as a range of expected concentrations.
The data logger (white cabinet) records temperature, specific conductance, and dissolved oxygen levels. The complexity of water quality as a subject is reflected in the many types of measurements of water quality indicators. Some measurements of water quality are most accurately made on-site, because water exists in equilibrium with its ...
Sunwater is responsible for the operation and maintenance of 19 major dams, [3] 63 weirs, [3] 80 major pumping stations [3] and more than 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi) of pipelines [3] and open channels. Water storage infrastructure managed by Sunwater includes: Burdekin Falls Dam [7] Bjelke-Petersen Dam [7] Kinchant Dam [8] Wuruma Dam [7]
The locality includes the lake itself (also called Lake Tinaroo) created by the Tinaroo Dam as well as the foreshores of the lake and some of the creeks that flow into the lake. It is mostly a water locality with very little land. [3]
Tinaroo is located on the shore of Lake Tinaroo, a man-made reservoir created by the impoundment of the Barron River by the Tinaroo Dam. [4]Despite the town's name, the waterfall of the same name is not in the town nor the locality, but it is very close by in the neighbouring locality of Lake Tinaroo, which includes the dam wall, the lake it impounds and the shoreline around the lake.
