A simple off-set cache with a nice View
Lake Manapouri is the final collecting area for the combined waters of lake Te Anau and the Waiau River catchment. The Mararoa River has also been diverted into the lake. Water then drops 178 meters down penstocks to West Arm Power Station deep in the heart of of a mountain where it turns the turbines to generate electricity before being uncharged into Doubtful Sound. Year-round rainfall make these catchments ideal for hydro power generation. Storms can refill the lake within three days. When Manapouri rises into its High Operating Range, water is released into the lower Waiau River. If floods discolour the water of the Mararoa river. It too is released down the Waiau River.
