Digging the dam

6.45am - just light. Mounds of dirt from the new hole in the ground. It will be spread out by a bulldozer in a couple of weeks to a depth of 200mm, and then a 100m layer of sandy fill will go over the top of that.

Standing on the excavator. The hole is about 2m deep, and at this stage about 15 x 15 metres. The sides will be at 30 degrees, and the final size will be about 20 x 28 metres.
Could not go much deeper than 2m because the water table is just below that, and it's very salty water.
