Guthega Dam
The 928th tallest dam in the world
Guthega Dam is a concrete gravity dam with an uncontrolled spillway across the Snowy River in the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's main purpose is the storage of water used in the generation of hydro-power. It was the first of sixteen major dams to be completed for the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 now run by Snowy Hydro. The impounded reservoir is called Guthega Pondage.
