The Prospect Reservoir is a potable water supply and storage reservoir created by the Prospect Dam, across the Prospect Creek located in the Western Sydney suburb of Prospect, in New South Wales, Australia. ==History== Shortly after 1808, William Lawson was appointed aide-de-camp to George Johnston and was granted at Prospect, which he named Vereran Hall. He built a large mansion there in the 1820s. He died on the property on 16 June 1850 and the property was eventually acquired by the Metropolitan Water Board. The house was demolished in 1929 and most of the property is submerged.〔(Site of Veteran Hall, accessed 15 January 2015 )〕 The dam was the first earthfill embankment dam in Australia and was completed in 1888. At the time it was intended to deliver water from the Nepean River to the reservoir. In May 1940 the reservoir became a part of the Warragamba Emergency Scheme. Pipes were constructed to deliver water from Warragamba.
