The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Meander Dam is a concrete gravity dam across the Upper Meander River, located in northern Tasmania, Australia. The impounded reservoir is called Lake Huntsman. The dam was constructed in 2006 by the Tasmanian Rivers & Water Supply Commission for the principal purpose of delivering a reliable supply of irrigation water to the Meander Valley, estimated at 44,200 hectares (109, 000 acres). Adjacent to the dam is the Huntsman Lake Power Station, a small conventional hydroelectric power station, operated by Tyco Tamar.
