Tukuk-OS🚧 Serpentine Dam (Tasmania)
Australia · Oceania · 42.78°S, 145.98°E
The Serpentine Dam is an embankment dam across the Serpentine River, in the South West region of Tasmania, Australia. Completed in 1971 as part of the Gordon River Power Development Scheme, the resultant reservoir, Lake Pedder, formed with the Edgar Dam and the Scotts Peak Dam, was established for the purpose of generation of hydroelectricity via the Gordon Power Station, a conventional hydroelectric power station located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) north of the dam wall. The impoundment flooded the original Lake Pedder, much of the Serpentine river, and Lake Edgar, a naturally-forming fault scarp pond.
