THERMAL ACTIVITY
Rotorua Springs and Geysers EFFECT OF LAKE LEVEL (By Telegraph—Press Association.) ROTORUA, June 26. The thermal springs and geysers around the shores of Lake Rotorua at present are very active. The Pohutu geyser, which was quiescent during the summer months, has been giving an almost continuous display during tht past three weeks. The increase in activity followed upon a marked rise in the lake levels as a result of heavy rain during the month, and, despite the opinion of Government exports to the contrary, it is considered that this supports the opinion of old residents of the district that an increase in thermal activity always follows a rise in the level of the lake. Considerable agitation has occurred here to persuade the Government to maintain Lake Rotorua at a higher level by regulating tho outflow through the Ohau channel into Lake Rotoiti, but as a result of a report by exptrts that there is no connection between the lake level and the extent of thermal activity, nothing has been done.
