dc.description.abstract |
The central North Island of New Zealand owes much of its aesthetic appeal to the numerous lakes within its boundaries, which formed as explosion craters or subsidence features associated with past volcanic activity.
In addition to these natural lakes, the Waikato River has been impounded at eight localities between Taupo and Hamilton to exploit the head of water in Lake Taupo for hydro-electric power generation.
The first aquatic “weed problem” to arouse significant public and academic concern in the area was caused by Lagarosiphon major (Ridl.) Moss (Lake Rotorua, 1958). The post 1960 era witnessed a continued series of public outcries as the massive growth form of this species physically interfered with the recreational use of the Rotorua lakes, and large dislodged mats of the plant were stranded on the shore during stormy weather, to decay with a high nuisance value in populated areas (see Chapman, 1970). |
