Tallowa Dam, Gravity dam in Goulburn Mulwaree Council, Australia.
The Tallowa Dam spans 528 meters across the Shoalhaven River, creating Lake Yarrunga with a surface area of 831 hectares.
Construction of the dam commenced in 1972 and reached completion in 1976, with a total investment of 11.25 million Australian dollars.
The dam supports the water needs of multiple communities across the Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands regions through its extensive distribution network.
