Victorian Public Dams and Retarding Basins - Unrestricted

dataset: PUBLIC_DAM_RETARDING_BASIN_POINTS_UNRESTRICTED

This dataset represents public dams and retarding basins in Victoria. The dataset is a point dataset. This is the unrestricted version of the data for display on the DEECA public website. For Water Corporations, Parks Victoria and AGL Hydro, this data is an extract from the FloodZoom Dams Portal used for annual dam safety reporting. The Dams Portal has two types of water storages, namely Facilities and Reservoirs. A facility can have many water bodies e.g., a water treatment plant with many ponds. A reservoir can have many dams e.g., one body of water with one main dam and several saddle dams. It is Water Storage Locations layer, one of datasets displayed in the interactive map https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/webmap/owof_storages/.
