South Para Reservoir

South Australia, Australia

The South Para Dam is an earth-filled embankment dam across the South Para River, located near Williamstown, on the Adelaide Plains, 38 kilometres (24 mi) north-east of Adelaide, in South Australia. Completed in 1958, the resultant reservoir, the South Para Reservoir, was established to supply potable water for Adelaide. After the Mount Bold Reservoir, it is the second largest reservoir in South Australia, and it reaches full capacity approximately once in every five years.
