This is one of the dams we built, it holds about 20megelitres (20 * 1,000,000 liters) it was an old 1meter deep silted up dam, we took about 2 meters of silt out and then hit murum/Gravel. We then used this for building about 6km of road and ended up with a nice big dam in a catchment. It is about 6 to 8 meters deep.
Joseph our excavator driver only opened it back up to the inlet about 5 days earlier and it filled in two days. (it is on a small creek/waterway)
We also had built another dam near our workshop of about half the surface area and the same depth which is chocka. (that is really full in Australian)
