Description
Examines the effect of modern development on our environment, drawing the readers attention to areas already affected (Orakei Korako thermal area, Geyser Valley and Waiora Valley, Wairakei, Artiatia Rapids, Huka Falls, Lake Waikaremoana, Lake Tekapo, Lake Pukaki, Lake Hawea, Lake Monowai) and areas also under threat (Rotorua Lakes, Tikitere thermal area, Waiotapu thermal area, Motu River, Lake Wanaka, Lake Manapouri, Lake Te Anau, Waiau River Valley, Lake Hauroko, Lake Poteriteri). Focuses strongly on land being taken by the government for hydro-electric power schemes without consulting the general public. Also raises concerns over misuse of land resulting in land slippage and silting of waterways.
