		But this would have flooded the lakeside township of Te Anau, so was reduced to 23 metres, raising Lake Manapouri to the same level as Lake Te Anau.
		Subsequent engineering studies revealed that Manapouri could only be raised by 8.4 to 11.3 metres.
		Other sources (A. Mark journal-ci.csse.monash.edu.au/ci/vol08/mark01/mark01.pdf) suggests that Lake Manapouri was to be raised by 8 to 11 metres.

	Letter from New Zealand
		We visited Lake Manapouri power station en route to Doubtful Sound and it is documented that the workers building the power station back in the late 1960's got $2/shift sand fly allowance for working in such a environment.
		We have been in Manapouri three days and both our ankles and feet are covered in bites and you feel like scratching them until they bleed.
		In this eco friendly, conservationist country I am 100% sure that if the sand fly was ever threatened with extinction there would NOT be a "save the sand fly campaign".
