Baroota Reservoir

Baroota Reservoir was built in 1921 to supply water to Port Pirie and the northern section of the Beetaloo distribution system – South Australia's first regional water network.

Originally one of the primary water sources for the northern Spencer Gulf, Baroota reservoir is an offline reservoir and no longer supplies drinking water.
