点评:Silvan is an off-stream storage reservoir, meaning that most of the water is sourced from other reservoirs as the actual catchment area for Silvan is small.
A severe drought in 1914 forced the government to search for a new water supply to handle Melbourne's ever-increasing needs. Construction took place between 1926 and 1931. It was officially opened on 7 July 1931.
But let's bring us back to the present and see what's there to bring you here today? It's exceptionally beautiful... quite serene. There are information boards giving you some history of the area... gorgeous shady trees. Picnic areas everywhere you turn. it's a beautiful place to lose yourself in the natural environment.
The only thing letting it down is ... it would be nice to have a platform to take photos of the water area... I understand that we can't be near it for hygiene reasons, but it would be nice to have a spot to take a photograph. A lookout tower perhaps?
翻译:Silvan 是一个离流蓄水库,这意味着大部分水来自其他水库,因为 Silvan 的实际集水区很小。
1914 年的一场严重干旱迫使政府寻找新的供水来满足墨尔本不断增长的需求。施工于 1926 年至 1931 年之间进行。它于 1931 年 7 月 7 日正式开放。
但是,让我们回到现在,看看是什么让您今天来到这里?它非常美丽......非常宁静。有一些信息板可以让您了解该地区的一些历史……美丽的成荫树木。到处都是野餐区。这是一个让自己迷失在自然环境中的美丽地方。
唯一让人失望的是……如果有个平台可以拍水域的照片就好了……我知道出于卫生原因我们不能靠近,但是如果有个拍照的地方。也许是瞭望塔?
