Central South Island Fish and Game says low lake levels a concern

Lake Opuha is operating at a fraction of its usual level.
“It’s usually around winter that we need the lake to fill up, and so far the weather just hasn’t provided it,” Webb said.
“Like everyone else, we want the lake to be full, but if we get a dry winter we’re really going to be in trouble.”

Last month, the Government declared the South Canterbury region to be in drought.
Webb said the dam was providing an additional 70 per cent of flow into the Opihi River, “which is good, but you can only take out water once”.

What’s striking about dams, like people, is how different they are, Dam Safety Intelligence’s general manager Dan Forster says.
“Dams have all got their own unique personalities and characteristic traits. And the big thing is that on the surface a dam can seem to be in good condition and performing well but what really matters is how it’s performing underneath the surface.”
If it were human, a well-monitored dam might look like a patient in hospital, with a pin-cushion of sensors and instruments poking into and out of them. In the case of a big dam, experts are checking for things like the reservoir level, seepage flow, and “piezometric” pressures on various parts of the engineered structure, such as where the dam meets other surfaces, called abutments.
