Hope Valley Reservoir


The Hope Valley Reservoir is a 2.84-gigalitre service reservoir in Hope Valley, South Australia, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.
When completed in 1873 it was the second reservoir constructed in Adelaide; it is the oldest still in use in South Australia. It covers and is retained behind a long clay-cored earth wall. Water is transferred from the River Torrens via a tunnel and aqueduct. The river is also used to transfer water from the Kangaroo Creek and Millbrook reservoirs.
