Dams information Report

Waitakere Dam Walk | New Zealand Tramper
In Auckland, we are getting not enough rain to fill up
the dams.


A Dam blocks the flow of water in rivers or streams.


It must pass over or through or around the barriers.


Dams are built across rivers, streams or estuaries.


The purpose of dams is to prevent areas from
flooding and to retain water.


Dams are built for electric power.


Water Care operates fourteen supply reservoirs,
five of them are located in the Waitakere Ranges.
Two of them are in Helensville, four of them are
in the Hunua Ranges and one in Papakura.


The dams supply 20% Auckland water.
