'''Hume Dam''', formerly the '''Hume Weir''', is a major dam across the [[Murray River]] downstream of its junction with the [[Mitta River]] in the [[Riverina]] region of [[New South Wales]], [[Australia]]. The dam's purpose includes [[flood mitigation]], [[hydroelectricity|hydro-power]], [[irrigation]] and [[water supply]]. The impounded [[reservoir]] is called '''Lake Hume''', formerly the '''Hume Reservoir'''. It is a gated [[gravity dam|concrete gravity]] [[dam]] with four [[embankment dam|earth embankments]] and twenty-nine [[Spillway#Types|vertical undershot gated concrete overflow spillways]].

The dam is part of the Engineering Works of the River Murray that are listed as a National Engineering Landmark by [[Engineers Australia]], as part of its [[Engineers Australia#Engineering Heritage Recognition Program|Engineering Heritage Recognition Program]].<ref>{{cite web | url = https://portal.engineersaustralia.org.au/heritage/engineering-works-river-murray-1922 | title = Engineering Works of the River Murray, 1922- | publisher = Engineers Australia | access-date = 2020-04-27 }}</ref>

The dam was built, involving a workforce of thousands, by a consortium of [[Government of New South Wales|NSW]] and [[Victoria State Government|Victorian]] [[government agency|government agencies]] that included the Water Resources Commission of New South Wales, the Public Works Department of New South Wales, and the State Rivers and Water Supply Commission of Victoria.<ref name=ancold>{{cite web|url=http://www.ancold.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Dams-Australia-2010-v1-for-website.xls|format=Excel (requires download)|title=Register of Large Dams in Australia|publisher=The Australian National Committee on Large Dams Incorporated|year=2010|access-date=16 April 2013|work=Dams information|archive-date=12 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212120804/http://www.ancold.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Dams-Australia-2010-v1-for-website.xls|url-status=dead}}</ref> 

Supplies to the construction site were delivered via rail, through the construction of a branch siding from the [[Cudgewa railway line|Wodonga – Cudgewa railway]]. Hume Dam is jointly managed by Victorian and New South Wales authorities on behalf of the [[Murray-Darling Basin Authority]]. Goulburn-Murray Water manages water and land located in Victoria, and the New South Wales State Water Corporation is responsible for day-to-day operation and maintenance and the management of major remedial works at the dam.<ref name="GMW1" />

==Description==
The dam is a mix of a concrete gravity dam with four earth embankments. The dam wall height is {{convert|51|m}}. The crest is {{convert|1615|m}} long, with the auxiliary embankments extending a further {{convert|1010|m}}. The maximum water elevation above sea level is {{convert|194|m}}. At 100% capacity the dam wall holds back {{convert|3005157|ML}} of water at {{convert|194|m}} [[Australian Height Datum|AHD]].<ref name=brochure/><ref name=SW/>

The surface area of Lake Hume is {{convert|20190|ha}}. The catchment area is {{convert|15300|km2}}. The dam wall is constructed of rock covered with [[clay]] and other earth and is designed to carry vehicular traffic. A controlled concrete spillway has a gated concrete overflow, with twenty-nine vertical undershot gates, is capable of discharging {{convert|7929|m3/s}}.<ref name=brochure>{{cite web|url=http://www.statewater.com.au/_Documents/Dam%20brochures/Hume%20Dam%20Brochure.pdf|format=PDF brochure|title=Hume Dam|publisher=State Water Corporation|year=2009|access-date=19 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304170259/http://statewater.com.au/_documents/dam%20brochures/hume%20dam%20brochure.pdf|archive-date=4 March 2016}}</ref><ref name=SW>{{cite web|url=http://www.statewater.com.au/Water%20delivery/Dams/Hume%20Dam|title=Hume Dam|work=Water delivery: dams|publisher=State Water Corporation|access-date=19 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130410023713/http://www.statewater.com.au/Water%20delivery/Dams/Hume%20Dam|archive-date=10 April 2013}}</ref>

Water is retained nearly {{convert|40|km}} upstream of the reservoir in the valleys of both the Murray and Mitta Mitta rivers.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}

The dam wall was extended during the 1950s, and completed in 1961,<ref name=SW /> necessitating the wholesale removal of Tallangatta township and its re-establishment at a new site {{convert|8|km}} west of the original,<ref>{{cite news|last=Brown|first=Annie|date=5 August 2016|title=Tallangatta marks six decades since it became the town that moved|url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-05/moving-to-new-tallangatta-60-anniversary/7691010|work=[[ABC Goulburn Murray]]|access-date=27 June 2023}}</ref> as well as the raising of the [[Bethanga Bridge]].<ref>{{cite sign|title=Hume Dam|type=Plaque next to the dam|publisher=The Institution of Engineers, Australia|quote=The doubling of its storage in 1961 to 3 million megalitres involved a large number of post-war migrants, the relocation of Tallangatta township and the raising of Bethanga Bridge.}}</ref> Monitoring of the dam in the early 1990s revealed that the water pressure and leakage had caused the dam to move on its foundations slightly, leading to concerns that the dam was heading for collapse, threatening [[Albury-Wodonga]] and the entire Murray basin. Authorities denied any short-term threat.<ref name=upgrade/> 

Traffic was banned from the spillway, and remedial work began involving, in part, the construction of a secondary earth wall behind the original to take the strain. Further upgrades to the dam at an estimated cost of A$60&nbsp;million began in 2007 and were completed in 2013. These works include the installation of an improved filter and drainage system on the junction between the concrete spillway and southern embankment, construction of a concrete buttress on the southern training wall, and possible modifications to improve the ability of the dam to manage extreme floods.<ref name=upgrade>{{cite web|url=http://www.statewater.com.au/current%20projects/Dam%20safety%20upgrades/Hume%20Dam%20upgrade%20works|title=Hume Dam upgrade works|work=Projects: Dam safety upgrades|publisher=State Water Corporation|access-date=19 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130410212551/http://www.statewater.com.au/current%20projects/Dam%20safety%20upgrades/Hume%20Dam%20upgrade%20works|archive-date=10 April 2013}}</ref>

==Power station==
[[File:Hume Power Station.JPG|left|thumb|Hume Power Station, 2011]]
The Hume Power Station is a {{convert|58|MW}} hydro-electric [[power station]] installed in the dam wall, and is primarily used for peak-load generation. The station has an average annual output of {{convert|220|GWh}}.<ref name=ancold /> The power station has two {{convert|29|MW}} [[Water turbine|turbines]] and is operated by [[Meridian Energy]]. In October 2012, a high voltage transformer at the power station caught fire, requiring more than fifty fire fighters who worked into the long hours of the night to put the blaze out.<ref name=Smethurst>{{cite news|url=http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/fire-blazes-at-lake-hume-power-station/story-e6frg6n6-1226495626322|last=Smethurst|first=Annika|author-link=Annika Smethurst|newspaper=[[Herald Sun]]|date=14 October 2012|access-date=19 April 2013|title=Fire blazes at Lake Hume Power Station}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/396704/smoke-on-the-water-hume-weir-fire/|last=McNay|first=Nigel|work=[[The Border Mail]]|date=15 October 2012|access-date=19 April 2013|title=Smoke on the water: Hume Weir fire}}</ref>

==Etymology==
Originally named the Mitta Mitta Dam site, following representations from the Municipal Council of Albury, on 17 February 1920 the [[Murray-Darling Basin Authority|River Murray Commission]] decided to honour [[Hamilton Hume]], who, in company with [[William Hovell]], was one of the first Europeans to see and cross the Murray River in 1824. In 1920, the reservoir was named the Hume Reservoir and the dam adopted the name of the Hume Weir, the name given by the Victorian Place Names Committee. Following a proposal from [[Greater Hume Shire|Hume Shire Council]], in 1996 both the NSW and Victorian governments agreed that the dam should be named the Hume Dam,<ref name=gnb /><ref name="GMW1">{{cite web|url=http://www.g-mwater.com.au/water-resources/storages/humedam |title=Hume Dam |work=Water Resources: Water Storages: Murray |publisher=Goulburn-Murray Water |year=2013 |access-date=19 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130420154211/http://g-mwater.com.au/water-resources/storages/humedam |archive-date=20 April 2013 }}</ref> and the reservoir be named Lake Hume.<ref name=gnb1>{{NSW GNR|id=KWwGWyZTMn|title=Lake Hume|date=2 August 1996|access-date=19 April 2013}}</ref>

==Lake Hume==
[[File:Lake Hume from the air in summer.JPG|thumb|Lake Hume, 2014]]
[[File:Hume Dam 1 Stevage.jpeg|thumb|The dam wall's easy accessibility makes it a popular place to visit.]]
{{distinguish|Hume Lake}}
Lake Hume is estimated to hold approximately six times the volume of water in [[Port Jackson|Sydney Harbour]].<ref name=brochure/> The small towns of [[Tallangatta, Victoria|Tallangatta]], [[Bonegilla, Victoria|Bonegilla]] and [[Bellbridge, Victoria|Bellbridge]] are located on the shores of Lake Hume. The reservoir is often referred to as the Hume Weir, and was named Lake Hume in the mid-1980s.

===Reservoir levels===
Lake Hume was the furthest upstream of the major reservoirs on the Murray River system, before the [[Dartmouth Dam]] was built further up the Mitta Mitta River to provide improved buffering during prolonged dry spells. The Hume Dam has the capacity to release water at the fastest rate. Irrigation authorities use the reservoir as the storage of first resort. Typically, the reservoir had fallen to less than one-third of its capacity by March each year. In normal years, it refills to at least two-thirds of its capacity before November.<ref name="GMW1" />

Australia's highly unpredictable climatic conditions cause those norms to vary quite significantly from year to year.<ref name="GMW1" /> In 2007, during the Millennium Drought, Lake Hume fell to 1% capacity, barely more than the water in the Murray and Mitta Mitta rivers flowing through on their original paths. Between 2010 and April 2013, the lowest storage level was in the range of {{convert|500000|ML}}.<ref name="StorageLevels">{{cite web|title=Hume Dam: Historical Water Storage Data|work=Water Resources: Water Storages: Murray|publisher=Goulburn-Murray Water|date=April 2013|access-date=19 April 2013|url=http://www.g-mwater.com.au/storages/history.asp?ContainerID=humedam}}</ref>

===Recreation===
The lake is stocked with [[fish]]. Most of these are introduced species – [[Common carp|carp]], [[European perch|redfin]] and [[trout]] though native species such as [[Golden Perch]] and [[Murray Cod]] can also be found. The fishing varies from year to year. It is also popular for [[water skiing]], and several holiday resorts catering for fishing and skiers are dotted around the upper reaches of the lake.<ref name=brochure /> An annual [[Canoe marathon]] race the 'Frank Harrison Classic'  is run on the river beginning below the dam each February and attracts competitors from across Australia.

====Sailing on Hume Dam====
In 1958, a group of enthusiastic sailors established a Sailing Club and started to run regular regattas.

The sailing club has since grown and is now known as the Albury Wodonga Yacht Club (AWYC). The club offers sail training for children and adults, and regular weekend racing. Once a year, on the first weekend in November, AWYC runs SailCountry, a large regatta which attracts entrants from all over Australia.

==Impact on the ecology of the Murray River==
The construction of Hume Dam has caused significant changes to the flow patterns and ecology of the Murray River. Before the construction of the Hume Weir, flows in normal, non-drought years were low in summer and autumn, though still significant overall, rising in winter due to seasonal rainfall and reaching a flood-peak in late spring due to snow-melt in the Murray and its tributaries' alpine headwaters. The flow is now effectively reversed, with low flows in winter and sustained, relatively high flows in late spring, summer and early autumn to meet irrigation demands. The spring flood peak has been virtually eliminated.<ref name= "COLD1"/>

The water released from the base of the Hume Weir is unnaturally cold, at least 10&nbsp;°C (18&nbsp;°F) colder than it naturally should be.<ref name= "COLD1">NSW Cold Water Pollution Interagency Group (2012) ''Cold Water Pollution Strategy in NSW – report on the implementation of stage one'', NSW Department of Primary Industries, a division of NSW Department of Trade and Investment, Regional Infrastructure and Services, Sydney, New South Wales, {{ISBN|9781742563107}}</ref> This flow reversal, temperature depression, and removal of the spring flood peak, has led to the drying out and loss of many billabongs and has harmed the populations of native fish of the Murray River such as the iconic [[Murray Cod]]<ref>{{cite book | year = 1990 | title = The Murray | editor = Norman Mackay |editor2=David Eastburn| publisher=Murray-Darling Basin Commission | location = Canberra, Australia | isbn = 1-875209-05-0}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|author1=Lugg, A.|author2=Copeland, C. |name-list-style=amp |title=Review of cold water pollution in the Murray–Darling Basin and the impacts on fish communities|journal=Ecological Management and Restoration|date=2014|volume=15|issue=1|pages=71–79|doi=10.1111/emr.12074|bibcode=2014EcoMR..15...71L }}</ref> and the [[Eel-tailed catfish|freshwater catfish]], which can no longer be found downstream of the dam as far as [[Yarrawonga, Victoria|Yarrawonga]], where it had previously been recorded up until the 1960s.<ref name="COLD1"/>

==Hume Weir Football Club==
The Hume Weir FC was established in 1921, mainly from footballers working on the construction of the new weir. The club initially played in the Albury & Border Football Association from 1921 to 1923, wearing black and white striped jumpers.
