Corin Dam

A third dam on the Cotter River, Corin Dam, was completed in 1968. Water stored in Corin Dam, the highest dam in the Cotter River system, is released into the Cotter River and flows down the river into Bendora Dam.

Storage Capacity: 70,900 million litres* fed from a 197 square kilometre catchment area

Top water level: 955.54m above sea level

Facts: Corin Dam is an earth and rockfill embankment dam with side channel spillway, completed in 1968.

* A review of reservoir volumes in 2005/2006 has resulted in ACTEW adjusting reported volumes. The change in volumes is a direct result of more accurate mapping methods used to determine volumes compared with methods used in the 1960s, when the previous volumes were calculated. A review of volumes of the Corin and Bendora reservoirs, effective 1 November 2005, has resulted in ACTEW adjusting the reported volumes from 75.4 gigalitres (GL) to 70.90 GL for Corin and from 10.7 GL to 11.54 GL for Bendora. A review of volumes of the Cotter and Googong reservoirs, effective 1 October 2006, has resulted in ACTEW adjusting the reported volumes from 4.7 gigalitres (GL) to 3.86 GL for Cotter and from 124.5 GL to 121.1 GL for Googong.
