Somerset has been evading CCJ for a while now, and its big brother Whivenhoe has been getting all the limelight. So its about time when revisited the lil fella once again.
Lake Somerset is an artificial lake created by the Somerset Dam on the Stanley River in South East Queensland. The dam was completed in 1953 providing flood mitigation and water storage for the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich and is the site of a small 4 MW hydroelectric power station.
At full capacity the lake holds 904,000 megalitres. Under normal conditions 380,000 megalitres is reserved for water supply, but the dam can hold another 524,000 megalitres to temporarily store flood waters. The mass concrete gravity type dam wall is 305 metres long and contains 203,000 cubic metres of concrete.
The dam is managed by SEQ Water. A 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.
