Additional water for Port Pirie and other northern parts of the Beetaloo distribution system was provided when the five-year project to build the Baroota Reservoir was completed in 1921.

Situated on a creek of the same name to the north-east of Port Germein, the dam also receives water from the Morgan-Whyalla Pipeline.

It took until 1932 before there was enough water in Baroota for the spillway to overflow. In the 1970s a new spillway was constructed.

The Baroota Reservoir lies between the Mount Remarkable National Park and the Telowie Gorge Conservation Park.
