Geehi Dam, Embankment dam in Snowy Mountains, Australia
The Geehi Dam rises 91 meters high and extends 265 meters across the Geehi River, forming a substantial reservoir in New South Wales.
The construction of Geehi Dam by Thiess Brothers in 1966 marked a significant phase in the development of the Snowy Mountains Scheme between 1949 and 1974.
The dam represents Australian engineering excellence as part of the sixteen major dams constituting the Snowy Mountains hydroelectricity and irrigation network.
Visitors can access the dam structure through designated pathways, while the surrounding reservoir spans 700 hectares, offering various observation points.
The dam features a bell-mouth spillway measuring 32 meters in diameter, capable of discharging 1,534 cubic meters of water per second.
