Aroona Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
The Aroona Dam is a decommissioned gravity dam across Aroona Creek, in the locality of Leigh Creek, near Port Augusta, in South Australia, Australia. The dam is situated approximately 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the locality’s town centre. The dam was completed in 1955 to supply potable water to Leigh Creek and industrial water for the adjacent eponymous coal mine. Since c. 2015, the dam has been used solely for recreational purposes.
