The storage behaviour of the dam at various spillway levels is discussed. In addition, the derivation of design floods for various recurrence intervals and the routing of these through various spillway levels and widths is included. The effect of the dam on flooding in Alice Springs is also discussed. The simulation of dam behaviour was performed using both a Dam simulation method and Gould's Probability Matrix method. Three types of data were used in the former model. These were the historic flows (IS years), synthetic flows based on a correlation with the historic rainfall data (105 years) and statisically generated flows (105 years).
