Lake Argyle is Australia's second largest artificial
lake by volume. It is part of the Ord River Irrigation Scheme and is located
near the East Kimberley (Western Australia) town of Kununurra. The lake
flooded large parts of the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley on the Kimberley
Plateau about eighty kilometres inland from the Joseph Bonaparte Gulf,
close to the border with the Northern Territory.
The primary inflow is the Ord River, while the Bow River and many other
smaller creeks also flow into the dam. The lake is a DIWA-listed wetland.
as it is the largest lake in northern Australia and an excellent example
of a man-made lake. Additionally Lake Argyle, along with Lake Kununurra,
are recognised as a Ramsar protected wetlands and were listed in 1990
as Australian Site Number 32.
