context_section_description: Before Split Rock Dam was built, the people in Barraba got their water from the Manilla River, Barraba Creek, and Connors Creek Dam. When these sources were almost empty, the people got their water from emergency wells.
  The Split Rock Dam was built in 1988 and a pipeline from that dam to Barraba was built in 2015.
