Bowraville Dam, Sydney, Australia
Client: GHD / Nambucca Shire Council
The Bowraville Off-River Water Storage Project aims to provide Nambucca Shire with a secure water supply. Chosen from a range of alternative options, the project involves construction of a series of new bores, collection tank, water transfer pipeline, water pumping stations and a new storage area all within the Bowraville area. The water storage area will be filled by pumping water from an enlarged borefield during times when river flow is not low. Environmental flows will be maintained in the river by feeding the stored water directly into the town water supply system during periods of low river flows.
