Water pours down spillways of the Roxburgh hydro-electric dam and sprays spectacularly back into the Clutha River. The dam, in a narrow gorge in the Clutha River in Central Otago, is 365 m wide and has a 7.3 m roadway along the top. It is 76m high. Lake Roxburgh, which was formed behind it, extends back 32km through the Roxburgh Gorge to Alexandra. The power station, on the west bank of the river, has been producing electricity since 1956 and at the time of its completion, in 1962, it was the largest hydro-electric power station in New Zealand. Its capacity of 320 megawatts has since been surpassed by Manapouri, Benmore, and Maraetai. Pictures by ROD DEW.

THE BANKS OF LOCH LOMOND, Perthshire, Scotland, will soon be enriched by about £500,000 every year. That is the rough value of the 120,000,000 units of electricity which will be produced by the Loch Sloy hydro-electric scheme, on which 2000 men are-working The photograph shows the massive dam at the end of Loch Sloy. The final level will be that of the control tower in the centre. On top of this, a house will be built for the superintendent. A 10-foot road will go across the top of the structure. Loch Sloy is situated 788 feet above sea level, in a district which has more than 100 inches of rain a year. The dam will allow about 500,000 gallons to pour through the power station every day.
