LAKE FORSYTH AND ITS OUTLET TO THE SEA.—This new aerial photograph shows Lake Forsyth in the background, and the channel and outlet to the sea in the foreground. The lowering of the lake periodically is necessary to protect the Little River area from floods, which have done serious damage in the past when a high lake and a southerly wind have coincided. The lake was opened by North Canterbury Catchment Board bulldozers recently.
