Lower Dam in Wainuiomata or the original dam as it was also known was drained in 1939 for maintenance. It reveals the dam wall in detail and possibly shows the section that was rebuilt after an initial collapse when the dam was first constructed. That section has a rough surface compared to the rest of the dam.
