Have You Heard Of The Esk Hydro Scheme

While in Hawkes Bay Tobias (https://t.me/tobiastahi) and i decided to check out a body of water further up the Esk river, called the Toronui reservoir.

It had been admitted Waikaremoana dam had released a percentage of water however as it is some distance away from Hawkes Bay it was only logical to look closer to home regarding the cause of such destruction.

As we worked our way towards the reservoir we happened upon the mention of a Hydro dam...directly above the Esk river.

Weird, we thought, as there was no sign of it on any maps we had looked at.

So we decided to check it out and in this vlog you hear audio admitting that the Hydro is damaged and more...😉
