Goldfields Water Supply Scheme
The Goldfields Water Supply Scheme〔Also known as the Coolgardie Water Scheme in early documents and news reports〕 is a pipeline and dam project which delivers potable water to communities in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields, particularly Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. The project was commissioned in 1896 and was completed in 1903.
The pipeline continues to operate today, supplying water to over 100,000 people in over 33,000 households as well as mines, farms and other enterprises.

Railway dams were essential for water to supply locomotives to travel to the goldfields〔http://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23604/20040615-0000/www.mediastatements.wa.gov.au/media/media.nsf/a941388a2e8b4ed648256dbe0025d27/ecff2cc3f64c4c1948256d51000c99e502ec.html〕
