Tumut Two Dam, Gravity dam in Snowy Mountains, Australia.
The Tumut Two Dam spans 119 meters across the Tumut River, featuring a 46-meter high concrete wall that holds 2,677 megalitres of water.
Engineers from the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation designed this structure, which was completed in 1961 as part of the Snowy Mountains Scheme.
The dam represents a milestone in Australian engineering, forming part of the sixteen major dams that shaped the nation's hydroelectric infrastructure development.
Located 3 kilometers west of Cabramurra, the dam connects to the Tumut 2 Power Station, generating 286 megawatts of hydroelectric power annually.
The dam's spillway manages water discharge at a rate of 2,152 cubic meters per second, supporting both power generation and irrigation systems across New South Wales.
