Talk:Barossa Reservoir

Height source?
The article presently says 27 metres and 28.6 metres. There are a sign and a plaque at the reservoir which say 36 metres. I have (not very good, but readable) photos of both. What were the original sources? --Scott Davis Talk 08:39, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The links in the article :). 28.6 m comes from SA Water, and 27 m comes from Postcards. It could very well be 36 m, but those are the sources I worked from. Looking at the Postcards site, it is ambigious: it states "hundreds of tons of water stacked up to twenty seven metres (nine stories) at the wall". SA Water is pretty clear though: "Height of wall: 28.6m". --cj | talk 10:45, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Hmm. It does clearly say 36 metres on both signs. And yet, two other sources say otherwise (well, Postcards doesn't resolutely, but if water was held to 27 m, why need 36 in height?). I'll leave it to you to change if you'd like. --cj | talk 12:13, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * The only logic I can make is that the water is 27 metres deep, the wall is 1.6 metres above the water, and 7.4 metres below ground to anchor it. So people who care about building use the big number, people who care about storage use a smaller one. --Scott Davis Talk 12:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Logical enough :). Fantastic photographs by the way!--cj | talk 12:31, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I just take happy snaps, and sometimes a good one sneaks into the camera ;-) My wife takes the good photos, with a much better camera than mine. I keep trying to get her to contribute some to Wikipedia, but haven't succeeded yet. --Scott Davis Talk 13:17, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * That might be a blessing in disguise. You know how addictive this place is - you mightn't see her again. 'Cept in wikispace, of course. :)--cj | talk 13:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
