Corin Dam, Embankment dam in Australian Capital Territory, Australia.
The Corin Dam stretches 282 meters across the Cotter River, creating a reservoir that supplies water to Canberra and its surrounding regions.
The construction of Corin Dam was completed in 1968 by Thiess following designs from the Commonwealth Department of Works.
The dam was named after William Corin, who made substantial contributions to hydroelectric development throughout Australia.
The reservoir impounds 75,500 megalitres of water and features facilities for fishing, picnicking, and bushwalking activities.
The earth and rockfill dam structure includes an uncontrolled side channel spillway that can discharge 1,190 cubic meters of water per second.
