The 928th tallest dam in the world

m

The Wuruma Dam is a gravity dam across the Nogo River in the upper Burnett River catchment in the North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. The structure also included an earth and rock-fill embankment saddle dam. Located 48 kilometres (30 mi) north-west of Eidsvold and completed in 1969 at a cost of A$5.3 million, the resultant reservoir, Lake Wuruma, supplies water for irrigation and town use for Eidsvold, Mundubbera and Gayndah.
