💧 Wivenhoe Dam: Built for Storage & Flood Mitigation 💧 Wivenhoe Dam has a total storage capacity of 3.132 million megalitres—but did you know it plays a key role in flood mitigation? ✅ At full supply level, it holds 1.165 million megalitres of drinking water. 🌊 During a flood it can hold back close to 2 million megalitres on top of its drinking water storage capacity. The extra water is temporarily stored in the flood storage compartment for flood mitigation purposes. | Seqwater

Seqwater advises operational releases from Somerset Dam into Wivenhoe Dam began at 3pm on 2 January 2024 and are expected to continue for the next several days. These low flow releases via the cone valves are to balance the storages across Somerset and Wivenhoe Dams, and are not expected to cause the lake level in Wivenhoe Dam to increase by more than 0.5 metres. Releases from Wivenhoe Dam are not expected at this stage. | Seqwater

All 5 gates at Wivenhoe Dam have been opened, and it’s a dam impressive sight! 💧 Controlled releases are normal and help to release excess floodwater, restore drinking water levels, and keep our dams safe. Keep safe by avoiding hazards downstream, like fast-flowing or deep water near waterways. 🌊 | Seqwater

At Hinze Dam, we have to physically catch and transport native fish from below the dam wall to the lake above to allow the fish to migrate. We do this, through the use of the Hinze Dam Trap 'n' Haul system. Since this facility was built, we've helped nearly more than 300,000 migrate upstream. This process also enables us to remove invasive pest species from our waterways. | Seqwater

❗ Fact check: There's a common myth that Wivenhoe Dam was built because of the severe weather events in 1974 —but the plan was actually in motion long before then. ❗ Wivenhoe was designed in the 1960s to secure Brisbane's water supply, with flood mitigation included as a secondary function. The 1974 events sped up the process, and the dam was largely completed by 1984. Hear how it all came together from Dr Margaret Cook, historian and researcher. 👇 | Seqwater

Wivenhoe Dam has begun releasing from one gate tonight. One of our operators captured the first flows out of the dam. These releases will be made as the water in the Brisbane River from Lockyer Creek and Bremer River recede and in line with the Manual of Operational Procedures for Flood Mitigation for Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam. Releases are not expected to add to flooding already being experienced downstream. For the latest dam levels, go to https://www.seqwater.com.au/dam-levels | Seqwater

🐟 Exploring the Incredible Fish Migration at Hinze Dam! 🏞️ Today, we're taking you behind the scenes to show you how we ensure the native fish species continue their migratory patterns! Our fantastic fishway, aka a "trap 'n' haul" system, allows fish to travel from the Nerang River into the dam. How? 👉 Step 1: Attract fish into a small chamber. 👉 Step 2: Process them into a large hopper. 👉 Step 3: Manually move them up into the dam. We operate this system a couple of times a week, and every

Ever seen water spraying from a dam? Here’s why. 👇 When our operators release water, we don’t just let it rip. That could contribute to erosion downstream— so one way we do operational releases is using cone valves. They work like a spray nozzle on a garden hose, spreading the water out to slow it down. This helps: 🌿 Protect the riverbed from erosion 🏞️ Keep water flowing downstream 🐟 Improve oxygen levels for fish So next time you see one in action, you’ll know it’s not just for show 😉 | S

Seqwater advises operational releases from Somerset Dam are planned during the next 24 hours, and potentially across the weekend. These releases from the sluice gates are to transfer water to Wivenhoe Dam to balance the storages and are not expected to cause the lake level in Wivenhoe to rise by more than 0.5 metres during this time. There are no water releases planned for Wivenhoe Dam. Check out the video below of Somerset Dam releasing through the sluice gate. For more information visit: https

WHAT A CATCH! Check out the huge amount of fish and eels coming through our 'trap and haul' fish facility at Hinze Dam, following ex-Tropical Cyclone Debbie. Fish migrate to complete their life cycles but water-resource developments - like dams - can disrupt river connectivity and migrations, threatening biological diversity. To mitigate that impact, as part of the Stage 3 Upgrade at Hinze Dam, we installed a 'trap and haul' fish facility ' to assist countless fish and eels with their migrations

How does an un-gated dam work? Of the 26 dams Seqwater manages, 23 of these are ‘un-gated’. Ungated dams, like their name suggests, do not have gates to control the release of water. When rainfall results in the water level in the dam reaching beyond its ‘Full Supply Level’ for drinking water storage, water naturally begins to flow over the spillway and into the creek or river system the dam is built on – that’s exactly what the dam is designed to do. The spillway is at a lower height than the d
