Manapouri is New Zealand's largest hydro power station, (850MW) but it is not on a river. It is fed from Lake Manapouri and is in an ecavated underground cave 200m below the lake surface. Water from the power station runs through underground tailraces to Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound. About 3/4 of the power produced by Manapouri is used by the aluminum smelter at Tiwai Point. The Benmore hydro power station on the Waitaki river has a capacity of 540 MW and is the second largest hydro power station in New Zealand, therefore the river wth the largest hydro power station is the Waitaki.
A river /sea and the objects to create the hydro station
A hydro power station generates electricity by using flowing water to turn turbines connected to generators. Water is diverted from a river or reservoir and directed through pipes to the turbines, where the force of the flowing water spins them to create electricity. The electricity generated is then sent to the power grid for distribution.
The three main ones would be the Waikato, the Clutha (Mata au), and the Waitaki. There is a very large hydro station operating directly from Lake Manapouri into Doubtful Sound, with no river at the dam. in addition, there are many smaller, but locally significant, hydro plants on other rivers.

There are many river dams, many are built to create hydro power.
