Management

The dam is owned and managed by the South Burnett Regional Council (until 2008, by Nanango Shire Council) to provide a safe, reliable water supply for Blackbutt. At present, tourist facilities are not provided and the road into the dam is locked.

Drought

During the early 2000s drought, Boobir Creek Dam ran nearly dry, and Nanango Shire Council called for urgent tenders to complete a pipeline from Wivenhoe Dam. The project was altered after years of good, flooding rain in 2008, 2010/11 and 2013.

gollark: > but they dont hold u to a moral obligationI have no idea what you mean, but in a post-apocalyptic situation you'll quite probably just die horribly.
gollark: No, you'll immediately get warlords or something who will impose rules and it would be very bad.
gollark: > They would disown their kid if the kid took a vaccineI'm not sure what you would expect to do about this. I feel like forcing them to be vaccinated wouldn't really help matters.> Plus there is the indoctrination that the parents doWell, you would try and inform children about this, as you would for basically anything else.
gollark: Hence "allowed to choose themselves".
gollark: I don't really agree with mandatory vaccines. Children should be informed better and allowed to choose themselves.
