Construction of Bjelke-Petersen Dam near Cherbourg in Queensland, commenced in 1984 and finished in 1988. It created the lake that was named Lake Barambah after the original property in the region. The dam supplies water to the South Burnett region, mostly for irrigation purposes. The dam wall is long and rises .〔 The wall is an earth and rock fill structure with a central clay core, which can hold back 134,900 ML of water.〔 The dam is generally shallow. Barker Creek provides the main inflow, while Four Mile Creek, Six Mile Creek, Frickey Creek and Cattle Creek also flow into the dam.〔 ==History== In the 1990s management of the camping and recreational facilities was handed to Murgon Shire Council.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Burnett Tourism - Murgon and the Bjelke-Petersen Dam )〕 Facilities for caravans, cabins, camping and day-trippers are extensive. Under normal conditions there are no boating restrictions, except near the dam wall.〔 In 2006, drought conditions had reduced dam levels to 5% of total capacity. With such low levels, visitors numbers had dropped significantly and local councils were concerned about maintaining drinking water for local towns. SunWater, the managing organisation of the dam, is undertaking a dam spillway capacity upgrade program to ensure the highest level of safety for their dams is maintained. The spillway upgrade commenced in 2007.〔(Spillway Capacity Upgrade Program )〕〔(Sunwater - Bjelke-Petersen Dam, Spillway Upgrade Program )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bjelke-Petersen Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
