Diversion Dam is a significant structure located in the town of Kununurra in Western Australia. This dam is an essential part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme, which is responsible for irrigating over 14,000 hectares of farmland in the region. The dam is situated on the Ord River, which is the primary source of water for the irrigation scheme.
The Diversion Dam is a concrete structure that spans the Ord River, creating a reservoir that diverts water into the irrigation channels. The dam is approximately 30 meters high and 320 meters long, and it has a capacity of 30,000 megaliters of water. The dam's construction was completed in 1963, and it has been a vital part of the region's agriculture industry ever since.
The Diversion Dam is not only a functional structure but also a popular tourist attraction in Kununurra. Visitors can enjoy stunning views of the dam and the surrounding landscape from the nearby lookout. The area around the dam is also a popular spot for fishing, boating, and picnicking.
The Diversion Dam is an impressive feat of engineering that has helped transform the Kununurra region into a thriving agricultural hub. It is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who built it and continues to serve as a vital piece of infrastructure for the community.
