View of the Upper Dam in Karori Reservoir. Located in the western Wellington suburb of Karori were two dams that harnessed the water resources of Kaiwharawhara Stream. Today, these dams are situated within the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary. The Lower and Upper Karori dams were constructed in 1878 and 1908 respectively, serving as crucial water sources for the New Zealand capital until the latter part of the 20th century when Wainuiomata became the main water source.
