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. -
