hundreds!About 30 are medium size HEP dams ,eg the Waikato River in the North Island has 9.10 if you include the old one that is now flooded near Arapuni.There are many small earth dams on farms used to make small lakes or ponds.Most of the large dams are made of concrete -especially in the north Island due to earthquakes.In the South IS there are some very large earth dams.Before the RMA it was a simple matter to make a dam on your own land but not any more!

Manapouri would probably be the one with the greatest fall, and Benmore the one with the greatest power output. But check.
