Many of you won't find this interesting, but when filming near Rivendell (e.g. the bridge scene), the crew had to create an entirely closed system for the river. Wellington Regional Council would not let them either add to or take away from the amount of water naturally in the ecosystem. Go kiwi. Of course, the Fish scene mentioned above (filmed in the central North Island) required about 6 hours of snow melting.
