Ord River Dam
The Ord River Dam is a significant water management structure located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Completed in 1972, it was built to regulate the flow of the Ord River, providing water for irrigation and supporting agricultural development in the area. The dam creates the Lake Argyle, which is one of the largest artificial lakes in Australia.
The dam plays a crucial role in flood control and water supply, benefiting local communities and industries. It also supports recreational activities such as fishing and boating, attracting tourists to the scenic landscape surrounding Lake Argyle and the Ord River.
