Information

Burrendong Dam is a rock-fill gravity dam with a clay core across the Macquarie River upstream of Wellington in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's main purpose is to store nearly 1200 GL of water for irrigation. It has an additional airspace capacity of 490 GL for flood mitigation. A gated spillway safely diverts floodwater through a channel about 1 km north of the dam.
