@Driftmaster07: It will be really good dam, I like it!
I have only one comment: both the channel below the spillway and the river below the dam haven't natural sides as on louistsw's second picture. They are manmade and this is OK, of course the river needed to be regulated  . But in this case natural looking stones and boulders don't seem apropriate, engineers would rather use stones of similar size. It will look more as an engineers' than nature creation  (but of course you decide  )

I was sort-of just trying to get it finished. This was the first time I ever used the PPonds and all their uses. Here is the completed product (I will be getting rid of the rocks soon).



Btw, the rocks in the spillway are also a temporary fix.

Hello

Here is my first (and only) dam, located in my city Mount Pegasus...

at day...



and at night.

Noticing the large waterfall, wouldn't it make sense to build a dam on that cliff, as it has a larger hight difference?

Hello Korot

Maybe the whole situation is not very realistic. Here is a another shot of the dam and Waterfalls:



I Think this is the best place to build a dam. Sorry, my english is too bad to explain  it in detail.

Happy new year,

Anyone think they could have a go at Fairbairn Dam from Central Queensland Australia?

Also, now 2 years ago, it flooded in my town, so i just thought i would show some before an aftershots of this damn, lcated 25 kilometres from my town.

G'day
Great work everybody, here is something I am working in at the moment, it's loosely based on a dam called Presa Madin near Mexico City. Please provide some feedback!
Cheers!!

Wow, harishna. That is one gorgeous picture you've taken. The whole structure looks really good, and the variety of plant life around it is spectacular. One suggestion would be to turn off the grid in the pictures, though. ([CTRL]-G) Another suggestion could be to replace the curves in the upper left of the pictures with the wide radius curves found in the NAM.

thanks for the comments ecoba, I'll remember to use ctrl-G next time, and I do agree that the wide curves would give it a more natural look.

I think that a proper spillway or a propable dam set would be great additions to the game.
