Wallroda Dam (German: Talsperre Wallroda) is a dam near Radeberg, Germany.
The dam was built between 1986 and 1989 in Wallroda near Radeberg and south of Großröhrsdorf, with the intended purpose of supplying water to farms and fisheries in the area.[1] It also has a small part in regional flood prevention strategies.[2]
