Lake King William

About

The Clark Dam is a concrete arch dam across the River Derwent, located near the settlement of Butlers Gorge, in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1949, the resultant reservoir, Lake King William, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the adjacent Butlers Gorge Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station and by the co-located Nieterana Power Station, a mini-hydro power station. The dam, its reservoir, and the two power stations are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania.
