General Information
Red Dam was built during the depression years and was in use until the 1970's. A pump run by a diesel engine was used to raise the water from the dam to a standpipe close to the road. Water was used by farmers and carted in tankers. If the town of Cowcowing had been built, this would have been the water supply.
