  • Tidal Hydrology in Pegasus Bay G

    Tidal Hydrology in Pegasus Bay G

    EARTH SCIENCE JOURNAL, VOL. 1, No. 2, 1967 TIDAL HYDROLOGY IN PEGASUS BAY G. J. BLAKE, Ministry of Works, Wellington Abstract Changes in the geomorphology of the coastal plain river mouths of Pegasus Bay over the last 100 years are considered. Comment is also made on estuarine sediment and flow, the difficulty of measuring these two quantities and the need to treat the estuarine channel of a river as an important part of the catchment. INTRODUCTION New Zealand hydrologists are very much concerned with river catchment analysis but as yet have not considered the tidal section in detail. The river channel from its mouth to the maximum distance upstream of tidal influence is a complex section where fluvial and marine processes combine and conventional flow gauging methods prove unreliable. Observations from the lower reaches of some typical New Zealand rivers (Blake, 1963) indicate some of the tidal channel details and gauging problems. The rivers studied in North Canterbury were:- Slope of Upstream River Catchment channel Saline Foreshore Area "Flow (100-0 ft. limit Sediment (Sq. Miles) m.s.l.) approx. at mouth (ft/ft) (mls) Waimakariri I 1250 Perennial 0.On18 2.00 Sand Ashley 447 Perennial 0.0034 0.75 Sand 95 Inter- 0.10054 0.25 Shingle Kowhai I mittent ·Waipara 285 Perennial 0:0054 0.25 Shingle CHANNEL FORM Wave action, generally reduced but variable flow velocities, aggradation and the tendency to meander combine to cause the mouth to migrate along the coastline. In several hundred years the Waimakariri river has moved along fifty miles of coastline north and south of Banks Peninsula (Jobberns, 1927).

Many Holocene alluvial and marine deposits in and around Christchurch experienced minor to severe liquefaction during the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. Liquefaction and permanent ground deformations were most severe in the city during the 22 February 2011 event. Permanent horizontal ground displacements up to 0.35 m also occurred at several locations in moderately sloping Pleistocene loess-colluvium in the Port Hills area, but no sand/silt boil has been connected to those deposits.

There were three major earthquakes in the sequence: Mw 7.1 (September 4 2010); Mw 6.3 (February 22 2011); Mw 6.0 (June 13 2011). There were many aftershocks after each of these events. The September 4, 2010 Darfield, New Zealand earthquake occurred at 4:30 a.m. local time had a moment magnitude (Mw) of 7.1. The epicenter of this earthquake was located west of Rolleston at 43.53°S, 172.12°E with a depth of 10 km; about 30 km SW of the central business district of Christchurch. There was about 22 km of surface rupture, with up to 4 meters (average along the entire fault rupture zone of about 2 meters) right lateral offset; there was some surface uplift at various places along the fault.

It is unique in being a previous channel of the Waimakariri River (the North Branch), receiving drainage from several major plains tributaries, and being strongly tidal over several kilometres of its length. It is a highly valued river, a culturally important waterway, a designated port and navigational waterway, and an important recreational and fishery resource. However, in recent years there have been complaints of degradation of its water quality and ecology.
