Lakes are formed when water lies in hollows in the land surface, usually due to faulting, warping or both; to recent volcanic action, or to glaciation.
Lakes of this latter group are Rotorua, Rotoiti, and Rotoehu, in the immediate neighbourhood of Rotorua itself; and Tarawera, Rotokakahi, Tikitapu, Okareka, Rotomahana, Okataina, Rotomakarui, and Rerewhakaaitu somewhat to the south-east of it.
The largest of the West Coast lakes are Brunner in the valley of the Arnold, tributary of the Grey, and Kaniere in the valley of the Hokitika.
