ECOHYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERISATION OF WHANGAMARINO WETLAND A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Earth Sciences at The University of Waikato By JAMES MITCHELL BLYTH The University of Waikato 2011 Abstract The Whangamarino wetland is internationally recognised and one of the most important lowland wetland ecosystems in the Waikato Region. The wetland‟s hydrology has been altered by reduced river base levels, the installation of a weir to raise minimum water levels and the Lower Waikato Waipa Flood Control Scheme, which is linked via the (hypertrophic) Lake Waikare and affected by varying catchment land use practices. When water levels exceed capacity, the overflow is released into the Whangamarino wetland, which also receives flood waters from Whangamarino River. Water levels in the wetland are also affected at high stage, by a control structure near Meremere at the confluence of Waikato and Whangamarino Rivers, and at low stage by a weir a short distance upstream. -

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. -
Proposed 2017 Amendments to the Waikato District
STATEMENT OF PROPOSAL AMENDMENT TO THE WAIKATO DISTRICT COUNCIL SPEED LIMITS BYLAW 2011 This Statement of Proposal is prepared pursuant to sections 83, 86, 155 and 156 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA). This is a proposal to adopt amendments to the Waikato Speed Limits Bylaw 2011. The Waikato District Council Speed Bylaw enables Council to review existing speed limits on District roads and assess for suitability against changes in safety and/or development/land use patterns. Background The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Speed Management Guide was adopted in November 2016. The Guide is a tool designed to help Road Controlling Authorities determine objective road risk, and work with communities to develop speed management approaches to address that risk and meet their needs. The Guide provides a framework to identify roads offering the greatest benefit from speed management, and assess the safe and appropriate speed on them. The new approach is underpinned by the Government’s Safer Journeys Strategy 2010-2020 which seeks to reduce death and serious injury on New Zealand roads. Council adopted the guidance provided in the Speed Management Guide document, as part of a new Speed Bylaw Review Policy. Adopting this Policy formalised the Speed Bylaw Review process. The Policy sets out an approach that splits the District in three areas, with the roads identified as being high to medium-high self-explaining priority by the NZTA Speed Management Framework maps addressed one area per year over a three year time frame. Council has decided to address the high risk roads in the Awaroa ki Tuakau, Onewhero – Te Akau and Whangamarino wards representing the northern area of the district first. -

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).
