Baroota Reservoir is a reservoir

was built to supply additional water to Port Pirie and other northern parts of the Beetaloo distribution system. The dam is on Baroota Creek to the north-east of Port Germein.

Although wet weather delayed construction of the reservoir for several months at a time, following completion of the work, there were actually several dry years. It wasn't until 1932 that Baroota held enough water for the spillway to overflow.
