Course and features
Brogo River rises below the Wadbilliga Range, that is part of the Great Dividing Range, within the Wadbilliga National Park, {{convert|15|km}} west of Cobargo and flows generally southeast, joined by eight minor tributaries, before reaching its confluence with the Bega River near Bega. The river descends {{convert|600|m}} over its {{convert|80|km}} course.
At an elevation of {{convert|112|m}} {{AHD}}, Brogo River is impounded by Brogo Dam to form Brogo Reservoir, a reservoir with a capacity of {{convert|8980|ML}}, that is used for environmental flows, hydro-power generation, irrigation, and water supply.{{cite web|url=https://www.statewater.com.au/_Documents/Dam%20brochures/Brogo%20Dam%20Brochure.pdf|format=PDF brochure|title=Brogo Dam|publisher=State Water Corporation|year=2009|access-date=1 June 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120320045218/http://statewater.com.au/_Documents/Dam%20brochures/Brogo%20Dam%20brochure.pdf|archive-date=20 March 2012}}
