The actual reservoir and dam are not unduly intrusive, but the extensive network of heavy-duty access roads to service all the weirs diverting water into the catchment have altered its remoteness and wildness.
The actual reservoir and dam do not significantly intrude upon the landscape, but a complex system of heavy-duty roads has been constructed to facilitate the diversion of water into the catchment area, thereby diminishing the region's isolation and wildness. This highlights how human activities can alter the natural environment.
