Bamboo Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

Bamboo Dam is one of three man-made bodies of fresh water on Great Palm Island, Queensland, Australia, and is located near the peak of Mount Bentley. After water supply fell to near critical levels, in 2016 it was reported that authorities were considering increasing the height of the Bamboo Dam wall, and linking the water supply with the Minggudjamba Banbarribarra Dam and the Solomon Dam.
