Koro-ni-O
Koro-ni-O is a village in Fiji, noted as the centre of the country's hydroelectric industry. The Monasavu Dam hydroelectric scheme, built between 1978 and 1983, features an 82-meter high earthen dam on the Nanuka River. A 5.4-kilometer long tunnel joins the Wailoa River Power Station to the dam, 625 meters above. At F$234 million, it was the most expensive project ever initiated by the Fijian government. The river has an accompanying lake, one of two in Fiji.
