Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox dam The Cooby Dam is a [[rock-fill dam|rockШаблон:Endashfill]] embankment dam with an [[Spillway#Types|unШаблон:Endashgated spillway]] across the Cooby Creek, a tributary of Condamine River, at Groomsville in the Toowoomba Region on the Darling Downs, Queensland, Australia. The main purpose of the dam is for potable water supply of the Toowoomba region.[1][2] The impounded reservoir is called the Cooby Creek Reservoir.[3]
Location and features
The dam is located approximately Шаблон:Convert north of Шаблон:QLDcity.[4] The other two storages used for Toowoomba are Perseverance Dam and Cressbrook Dam.
Completed in 1942, the rockШаблон:Endashfill dam structure is Шаблон:Convert high and Шаблон:Convert long. The Шаблон:Convert dam wall holds back the Шаблон:Convert reservoir when at full capacity. From a catchment area of Шаблон:Convert, the dam creates an unnamed reservoir, with a surface area of Шаблон:Convert at a maximum depth of Шаблон:Convert when at full capacity. The uncontrolled un-gated spillway has a discharge capacity of Шаблон:Convert.[1] The dam is managed by the Toowoomba Region Council.[2]
Cooby Dam's lowest usable storage volume was recorded at 8% in January 2010.[5]
In July 2006, public outcry and a referendum with winning "No" vote rejected plans to place recycled water into Cooby Dam.Шаблон:Citation needed In 2007, the idea was again resurrected when plans for an advanced water treatment plant to be built near Cooby Dam by the Toowoomba City Council were suggested.[6] The trial would test the re-use of recycled water into Toowoomba's drinking water supply. In 2008, an emergency bore was used to extract water from the Great Artesian Basin to supplement water supplies for the dam as drought conditions reduced supply to critical levels.[7]
Recreational activities
A stocked impoundment permit is required to fish in the dam.[8][9]
It also is home to the darling downs sailing club a small regional sailing club
