The Tarong and Tarong North Power Stations source water from the Moreton catchment via a pipeline from Wivenhoe Dam. Cooling Tower Blowdown water is either discharged directly to Tarong Engergy’s Meandu Creek Dam or supplied to the nearby Tarong Mine owned by Rio Tinto Coal Australia. Excess water from the mine is discharged back to Meandu Creek Dam. Releases from Meandu Creek Dam supply downstream irrigators on Meandu Creek.
