Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Florida. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).
The Fairbairn Dam is an earth-filled embankment dam across the Nogoa River, located southwest of Emerald in Central Queensland, Australia. Constructed in 1972 for the primary purpose of irrigation , the impoundment created by the dam serves as one of the major potable water supplies for the region and assists with some flood mitigation .
The North Pine Dam was designed with little flood mitigation capacity in mind, being designed only for water storage. As such, during flood seasons the location of the dam spillway causes the flooding and closure of Youngs Crossing Road. [3] Flood conditions last affected the dam catchment in October 2010, and prior to that 1991, 1989 and 2000 ...

Seven metres was added to the height of the dam wall for flood mitigation in the same year. [5] It was decommissioned in 2003, then in early 2006 water from Enoggera Dam was again added to inner north-west Brisbane's drinking water supply, when drought had reduced South East Queensland's water supply to critical levels.
A small 4 megawatts (5,400 hp) hydroelectric power station is located adjacent to the dam wall. A water level of 90% is the optimum capacity for keeping evaporation rates to a minimum. Dam operators discharge water into the Wivenhoe Dam downstream to hold Somerset at this level when inflows are occurring. [6]
