ATIAMURI POWER PROJECT.—There is more to the Atiamuri earth dam, in the Waikato river valley, than meets the eye as this Ministry of Works diagram of a typical section through the dam and cut-off wall shows. The earth part of the dam is 800ft long and follows on from the concrete part of 500ft which spans the present river bed. Electricity is expected from the power station early next year.
