We manage about 50% of New Zealand's total hydro storage. We collect information on lake levels, as well as the amount of water stored as snow, so we can estimate its impact on inflows.

Dry river bed safety
Meridian's hydro stations are located in some of the most scenic places in New Zealand, making them popular spots to visit.
At times, we’ll release water from our stations. We’ll always update signage nearby to let you know when we’re going to do this. If you’re camping or fishing in a dry river bed, you must remain vigilant and follow all instructions. If you see water appear, the most important thing to do is get out of the water and stay out.
If you want more information on planned flow releases, head to: Ecan river flow data - website.
