DETECTING SIGNALS OF CLIMATIC SHIFTS AND LAND USE CHANGE FROM PRECIPITATION AND RIVER DISCHARGE VARIATIONS: THE WHANGANUI AND WAIKATO CATCHMENTS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Earth Sciences at The University of Waikato by Ying Qiao The University of Waikato 2012 III IV Abstract The Whanganui and Waikato river catchments have somewhat different degrees of exposure to the westerly wind systems. It is of interest to determine whether the two regions have similar times of occurrence of any concurrent shifts in river discharge and rainfall, with particular reference to mean value changes. Concurrent rainfall and runoff shifts are indicative of climatic variation but catchment land use changes (which will influence only discharge change) have also been occurring in both catchments, particularly with respect to forest planting or forest clearance. -

Historic Overview - Pokeno & District
WDC District Plan Review – Built Heritage Assessment Historic Overview - Pokeno & District Pokeno The fertile valley floor in the vicinity of Pokeno has most likely been occupied by Maori since the earliest days of their settlement of Aotearoa. Pokeno is geographically close to the Tamaki isthmus, the lower Waikato River and the Hauraki Plains, all areas densely occupied by Maori in pre-European times. Traditionally, iwi of Waikato have claimed ownership of the area. Prior to and following 1840, that iwi was Ngati Tamaoho, including the hapu of Te Akitai and Te Uri-a-Tapa. The town’s name derives from the Maori village of Pokino located north of the present town centre, which ceased to exist on the eve of General Cameron’s invasion of the Waikato in July 1863. In the early 1820s the area was repeatedly swept by Nga Puhi war parties under Hongi Hika, the first of several forces to move through the area during the inter-tribal wars of the 1820s and 1830s. It is likely that the hapu of Pokeno joined Ngati Tamaoho war parties that travelled north to attack Nga Puhi and other tribes.1 In 1822 Hongi Hika and a force of around 3000 warriors, many armed with muskets, made an epic journey south from the Bay of Islands into the Waikato. The journey involved the portage of large war waka across the Tamaki isthmus and between the Waiuku River and the headwaters of the Awaroa and hence into the Waikato River west of Pokeno. It is likely warriors from the Pokeno area were among Waikato people who felled large trees across the Awaroa River to slow Hika’s progress. -

Appendix 6: Whitebait
Appendix 6: Whitebait 1. Introduction The decline of whitebait fishery in the lower Waikato River was identified as a key concern for Maaori through a range of consultations with iwi (tribes) from throughout the river catchment, from the Lake Taupoo outlet down to the sea (NIWA et al., 2009). Recovery of the whitebait fishery in the lower river is required because it is an historic cultural fishery and also because the presence of large numbers of whitebait in the river is viewed as an indication of river health. Recovery of the whitebait fishery is therefore an important restoration goal for iwi in the Waikato River. However, restoration can only be achieved if the factors responsible for the decline in the fishery can be identified and reduced, and this pre-supposes that an historic decline in the fishery has occurred. The whitebait fishery comprises two components: the juvenile fish that migrate upriver and the whitebaiters that catch them. Although a habitat-related decline in the abundance of whitebait can result in fishery decline, an increase in whitebaiters can potentially cause a decline through overfishing. The fishery may also decline because of factors not related to a change in the fish stocks. For example, river works related to flood protection may reduce the number of locations on riverbanks where whitebaiters can fish, and access to fishing locations may become restricted. Factors affecting the whitebaiters and their access to the fishery therefore need to be identified separately from those related to restoration of the river environment. Overfishing was noted by some stakeholders as an important issue, but recent studies on the escapement of whitebait past whitebaiters’ nets in the Mokau River, have indicated that escapement is high (more than 70 percent) and that overfishing of the stocks is not affecting recruitment of juveniles to adult habitats (pers. -
