Lake Burragorang is an Australian man-made water supply dammed reservoir. Lake Burragorang is impounded by Warragamba Dam and is located in the lower Blue Mountains of New South Wales, within the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site. The reservoir collects water from the converged flows of the Coxs, Kowmung, Nattai, Wingecarribee, Wollondilly, and Warragamba rivers and their associated tributaries. The reservoir is the major water storage for greater metropolitan Sydney, and its dam wall is located approximately southwest of the Sydney central business district. ==Pre-lake history==
Before the construction of the dam, Burragorang Valley had been inhabited by white settlers since the 19th century. A number of farming towns (including the town of Burragorang) and coal mines were located in the area. All of these are now underwater.〔("Natural Attractions - Burragorang Valley, Lake Burragorang" ) stonequarry.com.au〕 Construction of Warragamba dam commenced in 1948 and was completed in 1960.
