The first major
dam built for irrigation in NSW when construction began before World War I, Burrinjuck
Dam helped drive the economic development of the Riverina as a major food producing region. Today the
dam continues to support agriculture across the 660,000 hectares of the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area centred around the towns of
Griffith and Leeton. It also supplies stock and household needs for landholders and towns along the
Murrumbidgee River, environmental flows, flood mitigation and hydroelectricity. The large
lake has become a popular sport and
recreation destination.
