The main purpose of the dam is for potable water supply of the Toowoomba region.〔 The impounded reservoir is called the Cooby Creek Reservoir. ==Location and features== The dam is located approximately north of . The other two storages used for Toowoomba are Perseverance Dam and Cressbrook Dam. Completed in 1942 the rockfill dam structure is high and long. The dam wall holds back the reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of , the dam creates an unnamed reservoir, with a surface area of at a maximum depth of when at full capacity. The uncontrolled un-gated spillway has a discharge capacity of .〔 The dam is managed by the Toowoomba Region Council. Cooby Dam's lowest usable storage volume was recorded at 8% in January 2010.〔 In July 2006, public outcry and a referendum with winning "No" vote rejected plans to place recycled water into Cooby Dam. In 2007, the idea was again resurrected when plans for an advanced water treatment plant to be built near Cooby Dam by the Toowoomba City Council were suggested. The trial would test the re-use of recycled water into Toowoomba's drinking water supply. In 2008, an emergency bore was used to extract water from the Great Artesian Basin to supplement water supplies for the dam as drought conditions reduced supply to critical levels. 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「Cooby Dam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
