	Touring New Zealand 2004 - part 7
		When we reached Lake Benmore the roads changed to atrocious gravel but we proceeded to look at the boat harbour and campsite, basic with many caravans and then along the lakeside to another campsite at Fort Rose, which did not seem to have any facilities other than a boat ramp although many caravans were encamped.
		On the way back we looked at Lake Clearwater, people were sailing on it and opposite the little township, mainly comprising cribs, there was another lake with what might be freedom camping and certainly tables for picnics and a long drop or two.
		Lake Coleridge was the first lake to be exploited for hydroelectric power and the facilities there were used as a model for the succeeding hydroelectric power stations and trained a generation of engineers.

	Lake Pukaki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Pukaki is the second-largest of three roughly parallel alpine lakes running north-south along the northern edge of the Mackenzie Basin (the others are Lakes Tekapo and Ohau).
		The lake is fed at its northern end by the braided Tasman River, which has its source in the Tasman and Hooker Glaciers, close to Aoraki/Mount Cook.
		The lake is an upper part of the Waitaki hydroelectric scheme, and there are several dams and canals near its outflow, linking it with lakes Tekapo and Ruataniwha.

	Twizel - New Zealand - Mark Moxon, Travel Writer
		The azure lakes of the Southern Alps are coloured turquoise by 'rock flour'
		Lake Pukaki is stunning: I'd arrived at the south end, from where you can easily see Mt Cook, the highest peak in New Zealand and Australia combined, towering over the skyline.
		Lake Pukaki is at the end of the Tasman Glacier – Tekapo is also at the end of a glacier – which helps explain why there's so much rock flour in the water, but it also means the water is bloody cold.

		For example, some lakes such as Hawea, Pukaki and Tekapo may undergo big reductions in water level – usually during the winter when power demand is higher – and it has been unclear what effects such changes in lake level have on fish populations and their food supplies.
		Brown trout were relatively more abundant in a stable turbid lake (Ruataniwha) than in a fluctuating turbid lake (Pukaki), apparently because the light-limited shallow weed beds in the former are eliminated when water levels are lowered in a fluctuating lake.
		On the other hand, rainbow trout appeared to show variable depth preferences in different lakes, and their size and condition were not closely related to water clarity or lake-level fluctuations, suggesting that spawning success and food supplies in the open water zone were more important for this species.

		However, Sunday’s accident at Lake Ruataniwha was a tragic reminder that that was not the case.
		While Lake Hood had a separate area for jetskis which people wanted to operate around buoys, which was also open to jet boats, jetskis were often found on the main lake.
		For the volume of people who used the lake, Mr Donaldson said it was lucky that Lake Hood had not been the scene of more serious accidents, but all it took to prevent them from occurring was a bit of commonsense.

		Allowing wardens to limit the number of power boats and giving Rowing New Zealand the power to close the central South Island lake for a number of days each year are among other proposals on which the Canterbury regional council is seeking feedback.
		Rowing NZ has regatta management rights to Lake Ruataniwha, which hosts many South Island rowing associations, schools and clubs for training camps, and is the venue for two national regattas a year.
		Rowing NZ and other groups with interests in water activities at Lake Ruataniwha made submissions in response to the navigation safety bylaws which ECan "considered favourably", he said.
