Diversion Dam
The Ord Irrigation Scheme includes the Kununurra Diversion Dam, which was built to capture the enormous amount of water that flows down the Ord River for use in farming. The dam, which is about 6 kilometers west of the town, controls the water level of Lake Kununurra/Ord River.
Gravity is used in the irrigation system to route the water into the farmland to the north and south of the town.
