Benmore Dam

Benmore Dam is the largest dam within the Waitaki power scheme on the borders of Otago and Canterbury regions in New Zealand's South Island. Benmore Dam is also the starting point of the high voltage DC inter-island 500MW power connection. In the following picture of Lake Benmore and the Benmore Dam (to the right), one can see the lighter turquoise tint of the glacial water in the lake's northern branch (top left in the picture). The lighter colour is caused by fine silt carried down from the Tasman Glacier. At the Benmore Dam there is also the static inverter station of the HVDC Inter-Island.
