  • Generations of Sydneysiders owe their thanks to the 2000 workers who worked round-the-clock shifts to build Warragamba Dam between 1948 and 1960. This is their story told by the men and women who lived and worked at Warragamba.

    If they look at the map of the state they could run pipes off the back send water out west when floods easy as pipes above ground on stools so no nature gets destroyed give people jobs and help out west with water

    And they ruined it adding new estates over the old parks, taking the history with it.

    Instead of spilling the dam why don't they make it compulsory for houses to fill tanks with water storage

      I guess the tanks had been already full because if the rains and cool weather.
