Lake Arapuni


Arapuni is an artificial lake on the Waikato river created by a hydro dam, near Cambridge. There are  six dams built across the mighty Waikato river to harness cheap hydro electricity. Seen here with me is a friend from Borneo, Tam Chi Kim.
In Manawatu there are many huge wind turbines constructed along the hill tops using the wind to generate electricity in a more environmentally friendly way. In Wellington harbour, kiwi scientists are experimenting with wave generators.
