Озеро Поки ( маори : молитесь ) [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] является крупнейшим из трех грубо параллельных альпийских озер, проходящих на север -юг вдоль северного края бассейна Маккензи Новой Зеландии на южном острове . Остальные - озера Текапо и Охау . Все три озера были сформированы, когда терминальные морены отступающих ледников блокировали свои соответствующие долины, образуя моренные озера . Горный велосипед Alps2ocean следует по краю озера Пукаки на части его длины.
География
[ редактировать ]Ледяной корм для озер дает им отличительный синий цвет, созданный леднической мукой , чрезвычайно тонко измельченными породами из ледников. Озеро Пукаки охватывает площадь 178,7 км 2 (69,0 кв. Миль), а поверхностная высота озера обычно колеблется от 518,2 до 532 метра (от 1700 до 1745 футов) над уровнем моря. [ 2 ]
Озеро питается на северной части плетенной рекой Тасман , которая имеет свой источник в ледниках Тасмана и проститутки , недалеко от Аораки / Маунт -Кук . К западу от озера Пукаки находится горный хребет Бен Охау с Бен Дху (1607 метров; 5,272 фута) и Бетти Хилл (1601 метра; 5,253 фута) ближе к озеру. На восточной стороне есть несколько сельхозугодий на более плоских контурах между озером Пукаки и озером Текапо.
Good views of the taller mountains in Aoraki /Mount Cook National Park, 70 kilometres (43 mi) to the north can be had from the southern shore of the lake.
Tahr statue
[edit]There is a life size bronze statue of a Himalayan Tahr standing upon a boulder near the visitor centre on the southern shores of Lake Pukaki, This was the site of a protest by hunters fighting against the Department of Conservation’s controversial tahr culling programme in 2020.[7]
Hydroelectricity
[edit]The lake is now part of the Waitaki hydroelectric scheme. The lake's original outflow was at its southern end, into the Pukaki River. The outflow has been dammed, and canals carry water from Lake Pukaki and Lake Ōhau through the Ōhau A power station to Lake Ruataniwha.
Pukaki is also fed by the waters of Lake Tekapo, which are diverted through a canal to a power station on Pukaki's eastern shore (Tekapo B station). The lake has been raised twice to increase storage capacity (by 9 metres (30 ft) in 1952, and 37 metres (121 ft) in 1976),[8] submerging Five Pound Note Island, which once appeared on New Zealand's five pound note. The current lake has an operating range of 13.8 metres (45 ft) (the level within which it can be artificially raised or lowered), giving it an energy storage capacity of 1,595 GWh. Along with Lake Tekapo's 770 GWh storage, it provides over half New Zealand's hydroelectricity storage capacity. In September 2012, Environment Canterbury approved a change in conditions of Meridian Energy's resource consent controlling the water levels and flows of Lake Pukaki. The change allows Meridian to lower the lake a further five metres (16 ft) from the minimum level of 518 metres (1,699 ft) above sea level in the event of an energy crisis.[9]

Nearby settlements
[edit]There was previously a seasonal Ngāi Tahu food-gathering settlement on the southern shore of Lake Pukaki called Punatahu.[10][11]: 37
The closest town to Lake Pukaki is Twizel, 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) to the south of the lake and Tekapo is 47 km (32 minutes drive) to the northeast. State Highway 8 skirts the southern end of the lake, and State Highway 80 runs north along the length of its western shore, to Mount Cook Village in the Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park.
The nearby Pukaki Scientific Reserve is home to the Nationally Endangered moth species Izatha psychra.[12]
Road safety
[edit]State Highway 8 runs along the edge of Lake Pukaki. Numerous crashes have occurred here as drivers have come around a blind corner, seen Lake Pukaki and wanted to stop at an unsafe location to enjoy the view.[13][14][15][16]
2020 fire
[edit]A significant scrub fire burnt on the shores of Lake Pukaki in August 2020. Both State Highway 8 and SH80 were closed. Firefighters fought the fire with 14 monsoon bucket equipped helicopters, two fixed-wing aircraft, and 10 fire engines.[17] The fire destroyed 3500 hectares and took 12 days to put out. $1 million was spent fighting it.[18] Environmentalists believe that the spread of wilding pines in the Mackenzie District along with the dry conditions allowed the scrub fire to become so destructive.[19]
Pukaki Scientific Reserve
[edit]The Pukaki Scientific Reserve is a small scientific reserve of 32 hectares (79 acres) located on the western side of Lake Pukaki next to the Mount Cook road. The Pukaki Scientific Reserve is home to the endangered Izatha psychra moth.[20] The Lake Pukaki area is also home to the "Data Deficient" fly species Anabarhynchus albipennis.[21][22]
