	Lake Rotoiti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Rotoiti is the name of two lakes in New Zealand, one in the South Island and one in the North Island.
		Tramping tracks circle the lake and a water taxi travels the length of the lake to ferry trampers to and from the tracks at the head of the lake.
		The North Island's Lake Rotoiti is the second in a chain of lakes formed in volcanic caldera to the north of Lake Taupo.

	Lake Rotorua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The lake was formed from the crater of a large volcano in the Taupo Volcanic Zone.
		Lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti are connected by a small channel, and both drain to the Bay of Plenty via the Kaituna River.
		It is probably New Zealand's best-known lake island, and is closely associated with one of the best-known Maori legends, that of Hinemoa and Tutanekai.

		It is a scattered township lying on the south-western shore of lake Rotorua, amid hills reaching 2600 ft. in the immediate neighborhood, and much of the volcanic soil supports a rich growth of forest or bush.
		Four miles from Rotorua, near the centre of the lake, the island of Mokoia rises to 1518 ft. It is partly under grass and partly wooded, and is inhabited by Maoris, by whom it is regarded as holy ground.
		Both this lake and the smaller ones to the east, Rotoehu and Rotoma, have deeply indented shores, and are set in exquisite scenery.

	Report to the Minister for the Environment on Lake Rotoiti and other Rotorua lakes [Ministry for the Environment]
		The algal bloom in Lake Rotoiti is fed by nutrients from a range of sources, including the lake sediments, farm run-off, septic tanks (most of the settlements around the lakes are not yet connected to a sewerage system), and groundwater (which can take some decades to reach the lakes).
		While Lake Rotoiti is their main concern at present, they see its problems as part of a general trend in the Rotorua lakes.
		The issue of Lake Rotoiti is one for the regional and local people to manage – but the lakes are nationally important for tourism and recreation.

	* NZine * Lake Rotoiti In Nelson Lakes National Park
		It is the beauty of the lake, the mountains and the bush which draws most visitors to the area more than a century after Haast first rejoiced in it, although a few still go to seek the gold in the river valleys.
		Some come to relax in the peaceful surroundings, some enjoy day walks around the lake or on tracks through the bush up the mountainsides, some use the settlement as a base for longer tramping trips, some go boating and fishing on the lake, and some are there just to 'get away from it all'.
		He discovered the lake at the beginning of 1843 and went up the Travers Valley at the head of the lake and climbed a peak there, probably that named after him, Cotterell Peak.

		The algae-ridden lake was a key tourism asset but its water quality had been deteriorating for many years and had become significantly worse in the past few years, Ms Hobbs said.
		Lake Rotorua’s water quality is likely to get worse before it gets better because of large stores of nitrogen-rich underground water.
		Diversion of the nutrient-rich water flow coming from Lake Rotorua and the Ohau Channel, and artificially boosting oxygen levels in deeper water, are the likely saviours, says Paul Dell, co-ordinator of the scheme to clean up the highly polluted Rotorua lakes.
