Mulwala, Australia
Yarrawonga Weir
The Yarrawonga Weir is an earth-filled embankment dam across the Murray and Ovens rivers, located between Bundalong and Yarrawonga – in the Hume region of Victoria – and Mulwala – in the Riverina region of New South Wales – in eastern Australia. The weir, situated in Victoria, was completed in 1939 to form the reservoir, Lake Mulwala, for the purposes of water supply for irrigation in the surrounding district, regulate river flow, and serve as a crossing of the Murray between Victoria and New South Wales. A hydroelectric power station and a fish lift were added in 1994.
