Morning at Spelga Dam

Early morning at Spelga Dam in late October shows the vibrant colours of the surrounding hills. Slievenamiskin and Cock Mountain are behind the reservoir wall.

Spelga Dam

Spelga Dam is a reservoir in the Mourne Mountains. It was constructed 1953-1957 and supplies water to parts of Counties Armagh and Down. Together with nearby Fofanny Reservoir, it can supply 6,500,000 gallons of water per day and discharges 500,000 gallons a day back into the River Bann.

See Link for a video on the construction of the dam.
