Lake Rotoaira lies at an altitude of approximately 564 m asl between Mt Tongariro and Mt Pihanga, south west of Lake Taupo. The lake is the reservoir for the Tokaanu Power Station. The Rotoaira Channel conveys water from the Poutu Dam to Lake Rotoaira. On a concrete wall just above the dam, inside the Rotoaira Channel, this river gauge measures the water depth.
Genesis Energy collects detailed rainfall, river flow and lake level data from around Tongariro hydro generation sites every 15 seconds. This information can be useful to many people; from trout fishers to kayakers, flood managers and school students. This information will help us gain understanding of how rivers, lakes and rainfall interact and ensure maximum enjoyment from waterways around the Central North Island. River conditions can change very quickly, so the data is updated on their website hourly, every day.
