There is some question as to the accuracy of the claim that the lake level was planned to be raised by 30 metres. This is a complex issue. Other sources (A. F. Mark Integrating conservation with hydro-electric development of Lakes Manapouri and Te Anau, New Zealand: an exercise in complexity) suggests that Lake Manapouri was to be raised by 8 to 11 metres.
The original 1960 proposal was to raise the lake level by 30 metres. But this would have flooded the lakeside township of Te Anau, so was reduced to 23 metres, raising Lake Manapouri to the same level as Lake Te Anau. Subsequent engineering studies revealed that Manapouri could only be raised by 8.4 to 11.3 metres.
The use of the CPI as a project cost inflator is inappropriate --- the GDP deflator method is better suited. The 2008 figure should really be recalculated. Robbiemorrison ( talk) 13:29, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
A recent edit changed all instances of the name Manapouri to Manapōuri (other than the article title). There is currently insufficient widespread use of the spelling Manapōuri (with a macron) to meet the Wikipedia policy for place names as set out in WP:NCNZ, or the requirements of WP:COMMONNAME for article titles. Also, the NZ Gazeteer of Place Names does not use the form with a macron. [1] Perhaps in future, usage with the macron may become predominant, but until then, the existing spelling should be retained.-- Marshelec ( talk) 04:28, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
