| Connors River Dam: With a potential storage capacity up to 336,000 ML, the proposed dam will increase the northern Bowen Basin region’s water supply reliability and security. The associated water pipelines are proposed from the dam to the northern Bowen Basin, servicing areas of highest demand for the dam’s stored water. This will help meet the future water demands of industries and communities throughout the region. |
