1. Calculate water storage requirements
2. Calculate required catchment area
3. Check if the dam size is permitted under the NSW Farm Dams Policy
4. Identify a suitable site for constructing a stable dam with optimum storage to excavation ratio

The information in this example is specific to the NSW Riverina but will have application in other areas.
