The Ross River Dam is a rock and earthfill-filled embankment dam across the Ross River, located between Kelso and Mount Stuart in the City of Townsville in northern Queensland, Australia. Built initially for flood control , Lake Ross , the impoundment created by the dam, serves as one of the major potable water supplies for the region.
The dam was connected to the Western Corridor Recycled Water Project to ensure water levels would not interfere with power generation in times of drought. SunWater , the dam's managing authority, is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for dams under their jurisdiction is maintained.
The Burdekin River (upstream from the dam) forms the north-western boundary; the Bowen River flows through the northern part of the locality into the Burdekin River. [4] The predominant land use is grazing on native vegetation. There are some mines in the south of the locality, mining copper, silver, and gold. [5]
The dam has a maximum height of 25m and used 275,000m³ of zoned earthfill and 100,000m³ of RCC and conventional concrete. SunWater is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for our dams is maintained. The spillway will be upgraded in the longer term.
