Whakapapa release in doubt February 11th, 2020 2006-08-11T15:30:02+12:00 [11 August] Genesis have advised that the proposed Whakapapa release for Saturday 12 “is unlikely” due to lack of water. However, the situation is borderline and late rain may still allow a release to occur. A final decision will be made Saturday morning. Update: 12 August. The Whakapapa release for today is cancelled.
