Murray Two Dam, Arch dam in Snowy Mountains, Australia
Murray Two Dam stretches 131 meters across Khancoban Bank, forming a concrete barrier that controls water flow from the Snowy and Geehi rivers.
The dam was completed in 1968 as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which transformed southeastern Australia's water management between 1949 and 1974.
The structure represents a milestone in Australian engineering, functioning within a network of sixteen dams that changed regional water distribution patterns.
The reservoir holds 2,344 megalitres of water and connects to Murray 2 Power Station, generating 550 megawatts of hydroelectric power.
The dam's catchment area spans 53 square kilometers, with a controlled spillway capable of discharging 566 cubic meters per second.
