Catagunya Dam

The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Catagunya Dam is a gravity dam across the Lower River Derwent, located in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1962, the resultant reservoir, Lake Catagunya, was established for the purpose of generating hydroelectricity via the adjacent Catagunya Power Station, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station. Both the dam and the power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania.
