Burrendong Dam is a rock-fill embankment major gated dam with a clay core across the Macquarie River upstream of Wellington in the central west region of New South Wales, Australia. The dam's purpose includes flood mitigation, irrigation, water supply and hydro-electric power generation. The dam impounds Lake Burrendong and is filled by the waters from the Macquarie, and Cudgegong rivers as well as Meroo Creek.

Location and features

Commenced in 1958 and completed in 1967, the Burrendong Dam is a major dam on the Macquarie River within the Macquarie Valley, approximately {{convert|30|km}} southeast of Wellington. The dam was built by the New South Wales Water Conservation & Irrigation Commission for the purposes of providing flood mitigation, irrigation, and water supply.[1][3]

The dam wall height is {{convert|76|m}} and is {{convert|1116|m}} long. The water depth is {{convert|57|m}} and at 100% capacity the water level is {{convert|344|m}} AHD. The surface area of the dam is {{convert|7200|ha}} and the catchment area of the dam is {{convert|13900|km2}}. At 100%, Burrendong Dam has a capacity of {{convert|1188000|ML}}. Additionally, the dam has a further flood mitigation capacity of {{convert|480000|ML}}.[1] The spillway on the dam is a gated concrete chute with a release capacity of {{convert|13720|m3/s}}.[2]

Burrendong Dam has twice been recorded at a critically low level of 1.5% in drought. Contrastingly, however, Burrendong has mitigated potentially devastating floods downstream by using its flood capacity and releasing water in accordance with downstream tributary flows, safely reaching 160% of capacity in 1990 and 152.8% in 2010.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}

The {{AUD}}32 million first phase of a major upgrade began in 2010 and is expected to be completed during 2015. This project will bring the dam up to modern safety standards including the raising of the main dam wall and saddle dam by {{convert|1.8|m}} as well as modifications to the existing spillway, complemented by construction of an auxiliary spillway and fuse plug.[1][3]

Power generation

A hydro-electric power station generates up to {{convert|19|MW}} of electricity from the flow of the water leaving Burrendong Dam. The average output is {{convert|50.9|GWh}} per annum.[2] The station was completed in August 1996 and was officially opened on 9 February 1999 by the Premier of New South Wales, Bob Carr. At the time, the facility was operated by Power Facilities Pty Limited; and is now managed by AGL Energy.[4]
