WORLD RENOWNED BEAUTY IN THE HEART OF NEW ZEALAND
Lake Taupo is a lake in the North Island of New Zealand. It is in the caldera of the Taupo Volcano. With a surface area of 616 square kilometres, it is the largest lake by surface area in New Zealand, and the second largest freshwater lake by surface area in geopolitical Oceania after Lake Murray in Papua New Guinea. Motutaiko Island lies in the south east area of the lake. Lake Taupo has a perimeter of approximately 193 kilometres and a maximum depth of 186 metres. It is drained by the Waikato River, and its main tributaries are the Waitahanui River, the Tongariro River, and the Tauranga Taupo River. It is a noted trout fishery with stocks of introduced brown and rainbow trout. The level of the lake is controlled by Mercury Energy, using gates built in 1940-41. They are used to reduce flooding, conserve water and ensure a minimum flow of 50 m³/s in the Waikato River. The resource consent allows the level of the lake to be varied between 357.25 and 355.85 m above sea level. ( Wikipeadia)
