Wayatinah Power Station

Tasmania, Australia

The Wayatinah Dam is a rock-filled embankment dam with earthen core across the Lower River Derwent, located near the small settlement of Wayatinah, in the Central Highlands region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1983, the resultant reservoir, Wayatinah Lagoon, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the adjacent Wayatinah Power Station, a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power station. The dam, its reservoir, and the power station are owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania. The etymology of the word wayatinah is derived from a Tasmanian Aboriginal word meaning "brook" or "stream".
