Deep Creek Dam, Gravity dam in Tumbarumba, Australia.

Deep Creek Dam extends 54.9 meters in length across Deep Creek, utilizing concrete construction to maintain water levels in the Snowy Mountains region.

The dam's completion in 1961 marked it as the smallest component of the sixteen major dams within the Snowy Mountains Scheme constructed between 1949 and 1974.

The structure represents Australian engineering capabilities through its integration into the wider Murray-Darling basin water management system.

The dam features an uncontrolled spillway capable of discharging water at 312 cubic meters per second, directing flow through the Tooma-Tumut Tunnel.

The reservoir created by Deep Creek Dam spans 2 hectares and collects water from a catchment area measuring 9.68 square kilometers.
