The lake, near Cambridge and some 30 kilometres (19 mi) south-east of the city of Hamilton, was created in 1947 to store water for the Karapiro Power Station, the last of the eight hydroelectric power stations on the Waikato River. The lake, regarded as one of New Zealand's best rowing venues, hosted the World Rowing Championships in 1978 and the 1950 British Empire Games. New Zealand has been granted hosting rights for the 2010 World Rowing Championships, to be hosted at Lake Karapiro. "A FISA inspection panel had visited Lake Karapiro venue in March and said in its report that it was one of the fairest courses in the world they had seen and that the lake was one of the most picturesque in the world."[2] Contents 1 Etymology 2 Hydroelectric power 3 References 4 External links // Etymology 'Kara' means stone, 'piro' means evil-smelling. According to legend, Karapiro was the stronghold of the chief O-Te-Ihingarangi, and was where the Ngati Haua and their Tauranga allies made a defensive pact during the land wars of 1864.[3] Hydroelectric power The dam for the Karapiro Power Station forms the lake in the original path of the Waikato River. The Horahora Power Station, part of an earlier hydroelectric power scheme, was flooded with the formation of Lake Karapiro.[4] References ^ Viner, A.B., ed (1987). Inland waters of New Zealand.
