💧 Wivenhoe Dam: Built for Storage & Flood Mitigation 💧 Wivenhoe Dam has a total storage capacity of 3.132 million megalitres—but did you know it plays a key role in flood mitigation? ✅ At full supply level, it holds 1.165 million megalitres of drinking water. 🌊 During a flood it can hold back close to 2 million megalitres on top of its drinking water storage capacity. The extra water is temporarily stored in the flood storage compartment for flood mitigation purposes. | Seqwater

Seqwater advises operational releases from Somerset Dam into Wivenhoe Dam are planned over the coming days. These low flow releases are to balance the storages across Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams, and are not expected to cause the lake level in Wivenhoe Dam to increase by more than 0.5 metres over the coming days. Operational releases are common to balance the lake levels across Somerset and Wivenhoe dams. There are no water releases planned for Wivenhoe Dam. | Seqwater

All 5 gates at Wivenhoe Dam have been opened, and it’s a dam impressive sight! 💧 Controlled releases are normal and help to release excess floodwater, restore drinking water levels, and keep our dams safe. Keep safe by avoiding hazards downstream, like fast-flowing or deep water near waterways. 🌊 | Seqwater

If any New South Welshians stray on to Seqwater’s network this week, there’ll be no denying they’re on #Queenslander territory. It’s this time of year when we take our water supply as seriously as our State of Origin footy. So seriously, in fact, we splashed Maroon Dam – which happens to be the closest to the NSW border – with our new favourite colour. How devoted to State of Origin are you Sydney Water? 😉 | Seqwater

At Hinze Dam, we have to physically catch and transport native fish from below the dam wall to the lake above to allow the fish to migrate. We do this, through the use of the Hinze Dam Trap 'n' Haul system. Since this facility was built, we've helped nearly more than 300,000 migrate upstream. This process also enables us to remove invasive pest species from our waterways. | Seqwater

❗ Fact check: There's a common myth that Wivenhoe Dam was built because of the severe weather events in 1974 —but the plan was actually in motion long before then. ❗ Wivenhoe was designed in the 1960s to secure Brisbane's water supply, with flood mitigation included as a secondary function. The 1974 events sped up the process, and the dam was largely completed by 1984. Hear how it all came together from Dr Margaret Cook, historian and researcher. 👇 | Seqwater

Wyaralong is the newest dam in South East Queensland, built in 2011 in response to the Millennium Drought. As this major drought broke around the time it was completed, the Dam was never brought online as a drinking water source. Connecting Wyaralong to the SEQ Water Grid would be a significant addition to water supply in SEQ, and is an opportunity to make the most of an existing asset. This is just one strategy identified as part of Seqwater's Water Security Program 2023, a 30-year strategy tha

Dam, that’s full! 💧 Since Thursday 11 January 2024, rainfall in the catchment of Somerset Dam sent approximately 22, 000 ML of water flowing into the dam. As Somerset Dam is immediately upstream of Wivenhoe Dam, and the two dams essentially operate as one storage, over the past week or so we released a total of 31,000 ML from Somerset Dam into Wivenhoe Dam. Wivenhoe Dam is almost three times larger than Somerset Dam. These releases were captured by Wivenhoe Dam and have only caused the lake lev

Wivenhoe Dam has begun releasing from one gate tonight. One of our operators captured the first flows out of the dam. These releases will be made as the water in the Brisbane River from Lockyer Creek and Bremer River recede and in line with the Manual of Operational Procedures for Flood Mitigation for Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam. Releases are not expected to add to flooding already being experienced downstream. For the latest dam levels, go to https://www.seqwater.com.au/dam-levels | Seqwater

If you’re visiting Wivenhoe Dam from 9 June to 23 June 2025, you may notice we're making low flow operational releases through one radial gate, while the dam’s cone valve undergoes planned inspection and maintenance. These operational releases regularly occur via the cone valve to supply drinking water to the Mount Crosby Water Treatment Plants downstream, and for environmental flows. The low flow operational releases via the gate will match release volumes typically made from the cone valve, wh

Our fantastic fishway, aka a "trap 'n' haul" system, allows fish to travel from the Nerang River into the dam. How? 👉 Step 1: Attract fish into a small chamber. 👉 Step 2: Process them into a large hopper. 👉 Step 3: Manually move them up into the dam. We operate this system a couple of times a week, and every

Ever seen water spraying from a dam? Here’s why. 👇 When our operators release water, we don’t just let it rip. That could contribute to erosion downstream— so one way we do operational releases is using cone valves. They work like a spray nozzle on a garden hose, spreading the water out to slow it down. This helps: 🌿 Protect the riverbed from erosion 🏞️ Keep water flowing downstream 🐟 Improve oxygen levels for fish So next time you see one in action, you’ll know it’s not just for show 😉 | S

🛠️ How do you make a dam built nearly 50 years ago even stronger? 🛠️ At North Pine Dam, the answer starts with more than 50 large-scale post-tensioned ground anchors – enormous steel cables, some more than 100 metres long, locked tight inside the concrete and rock foundation. These anchors work like massive bolts, gripping the dam wall and pulling it down into the foundation. When they're all in place, these anchors will add around 75,000 tonnes of stabilising force — roughly the weight of 30
