  Clutha District New Zealand A to Z Travel Directory Balclutha Tapanui Milton
The Clutha River is an important part of Balclutha's history as it encouraged settlers to the area, brought prosperity with the discovery of gold, but also tragedy to the region with horrendous floods.
To the local Maori, the Clutha was known as Mata-au (which means surface current) but was finally named Clutha (which is Gaelic for Clyde) by the Scottish settlers, after a river in their native country, the Clyde.
The Clutha was also a rich source of gold and has become a major source of hydroelectric power with a flow rate of 530 cubic meters per second.

 Mahinerangi - Waipori
One of the bigger concerns around the lake has been the more or less unrestricted building of cribs on lake margin land owned by the Dunedin City Council and leased by the crib owners.

But it is all "legal" apparently, so the Clutha District Council claims, with a building permit issued and all the i's dotted and t's crossed.
