Lake Ruataniwha

A single sculler breaks the glassy reflection with his oars at Lake Ruataniwha in September 2007. Lake Ruataniwha is, like Lake Karāpiro in Waikato, an artificial lake created by a hydroelectric scheme – in this case the upper Waitaki project. It is close to Twizel, and is used alternately with Lake Karāpiro for the national rowing championships.
