Lake Arthur Dam

The Lake Arthur dam was originally constructed in 1926 to serve irrigators downstream of the Tarka River and other farms located on the Great Fish River banks.

​

Lake Arthur, together with the Kommando Drift Dam severed more that 3000ha of irrigation area. With the completion of the Orange-Fish transfer scheme, the Lake Arthur Dam become obsolete, now only providing irrigation water to approximately 300ha of irrigatable land.
