Four major floods have occurred in Brisbane.The first was on 14 January 1841. To date, these floods have been the worst, high-level wise, although there was less destruction to property as the town was still very young and undeveloped. Flood levels were reported to be over 8 metres above the mean sea level.The next major flood began on 5 February 1893. These floods came within 7cm of the 1841 levels.The worst floods in terms of death and loss of property occurred in January 1974 when tropical Cyclone Wanda developed into a rain depression that dumped hundreds of millimetres of rain on an already saturated southeast Queensland. Since the construction of Wivenhoe Dam on the Brisbane River within a few years of this flood, Brisbane was believed to be flood-proof.This changed when, on 11 January 2011, the Brisbane River again broke its banks. The flood was the result of a La Ninaweather pattern, together with the state being saturated by the rainfall resulting from a cyclone system that hit in the north on Christmas Day 2010.Wivenhoe Dam, which was designed to prevent any further floods, exceeded 160% capacity, requiring the release of a massive amount of water, comparable to the volume of Sydney harbour.

Wivenhoe has a total storage capacity of 2.6 million mega-litres 1.450 million of that is for flood mitigation, so at 100% it is 1.165 million mega-litres. Its dam wall is 2.3km long and 50m high. Hume Dam has a capacity of 3 million mega-litres at 100% and its wall is 51m high and 1.6km long
During the Brisbane floods in January 2011, approximately 200,000 megaliters of water were released from the Wivenhoe Dam. This release was part of the dam's flood management strategy to prevent overtopping and further flooding in the region. The decision to release water was made as the dam reached capacity due to heavy rainfall, significantly impacting the Brisbane River and surrounding areas.
As a grammar nazi, I feel insulted that you can't be bothered to learn how to spell wivenhoe.
the capacity of the dam is 9.340km cube
The population of Wivenhoe is 9,135.

Known as the largest dam in India based on water capacity, the Bhakra Nangal Dam and has the reservoir capacity of 7,501,775 acre ft. It is also known as the second largest dam in Asia.
Wivenhoe Town F.C. was created in 1925.
The dam at the centre of the controversy surrounding the Brisbane floods (but not the Queensland floods) is Wivenhoe Dam.Wivenhoe is the main dam that protects the city of Brisbane from flooding, but excessive rainfalls in the catchment, and a wall of water which came down the Toowoomba Range, sent its capacity to 190% in January 2011. The gates had to be opened, sending the equivalent of two Sydney Harbour's worth of water into the Brisbane River each day. This is why Brisbane and Ipswich flooded.
Dams come in all sizes. the Aswan Dam has a capacity of 107,000,000 square feet. The Hoover Dam has a capacity of 3, 250,000 cubic yards.
