Thomson Dam
The Thomson Dam is a major Clay core and rockfill embankment dam with a Uncontrolled, Ogee-shaped overflow weir and chute spillway across the Thomson River, located about east of Melbourne in the West Gippsland region of the Australian state of Victoria. The reservoir (or storage basin) created by the dam is officially called Thomson Reservoir, sometimes called Lake Thomson. Location and features The dam is located near the former township of Beardmore and the Baw Baw National Park. Despite opposition from conservationists and farmers, plans for the dam were originally approved in late December 1975 to provide Melbourne with water security. A dam on the Thomson River was preferred because the river had a large flow, high water quality and was elevated high enough to provide water to the upper Yarra system by gravity flow. Early work in the early 1970s saw construction of a tunnel through the Thomson Yarra divide to allow water from the Thomson River to flow into the ...

Thomson Dam (Minnesota)
Thomson Dam, also known as the Thomson Hydro Station or Thomson Water Project, is an embankment dam, embankment and gravity dam, concrete gravity dam on the Saint Louis River (Lake Superior tributary), Saint Louis River near the town of Thomson, Minnesota, Thomson in northeastern Minnesota, United States. It consists of a 1600-foot (488 m) long primary structure and multiple supplementary dams which, together with precambrian rock outcrops known as the Thomson formation, impound the river to create Thomson Reservoir. The tallest dam in the complex is 51.6 feet (16 m) and the longest is 3500 feet (1067 m). A series of Gatehouse (waterworks), gate houses, a canal, forebay (reservoir), forebay, and underground penstocks supply a hydropower, hydropower plant located 3 miles away in Jay Cooke State Park. With an installed capacity of 72 Megawatt, MW and an annual generation of approximately 280 GWh, the Thomson project is the largest hydroelectric facility in the state. History Th ...
