Flooding is a major hazard in the Waikato Region due to: • The presence of 20 major and 1420 minor river systems • It’s location makes it susceptible to storms of tropical origin • Steep gradients in many of the region’s river catchments promotes “flash flooding” and increased runoff rates • There are large areas of low-lying flood plains below, at, or just above sea-level that are intensely farmed (see Figure 1) • There are large areas of land lacking vegetation cover – increasing run-off and erosion What difference does the Flood Warning System make? Without an operative flood warning system in place, flood management with electricity generators would be difficult and more complex, there would be more reliance on local knowledge, un-necessary pre-emptive actions could be taken (costly), community concern would be much higher, resources could be stretched, mis-information to District Council’s could occur, and inadequate media reporting could all contribute to a less than effective flood response. Legislative Requirements Environment Waikato has a mandate under two acts of parliament to monitor waterways for floods. The Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941 states that regional councils (ex Catchment Boards) should prevent/minimise damage by floods, and the Resource Management Act 1991 gives regional councils functions to control the use of land for avoidance and/or mitigation of natural hazards. Environment Waikato is also very active in flood forecasting, carrying over many of the functions of its predecessor, the Waikato Catchment Board. Hence, behind the legislative requirements, experience, resources and assets play a vital role in Environment Waikato’s continued involvement in flood warning. The MetService provides a weather forecasting service, and issues severe weather warnings to assist in the management of river floods. In the last 25 years. There have been several major floods and a number of minor events recorded throughout the region. The more significant of these occurred in 1976 (Ohinemuri River), 1981 (Ohinemuri River), 1985 (Kauaeranga River), 1995 (Lower Waikato River), 1997 (Cyclone Fergus, Tairua River), and July 1998 (Lower Waikato Flood Event). Generally, flood events have been experienced throughout the region in all 20 major river systems and have affected both urban and rural communities. For further information, refer to the “Natural Hazard Impact and Priorities – Overview Report 1998” by D. Parkin. Page vi Doc # 761111 Figure 1: Main aeas in the Waikato Region at risk from flooding Flood Warning Procedures Manual 2003 Page vii Purpose of Manual This Flood Manual comprises a set of instructions and supporting information that sets out the responsibilities for action, reporting, decision making, and liaison in the event of a flood in the Waikato Region. The purpose of this manual is to illustrate procedures and define the implementation of systems and human resources. The Natural Hazards/Emergency Management Programme Manager is responsible for planning, maintaining, and implementing this Flood Manual and for training Environment Waikato Staff in the procedures required for operational response measures. The concept of flood management for Environment Waikato is that information and warnings received into Environment Waikato’s Hamilton Office at any time are to be brought to the immediate attention of the incumbent Level 1 Emergency Management Officer (EMO). The Level 1 EMO is the appointed Environment Waikato Flood Manager and is responsible for co-ordinating and controlling all Environment Waikato operational matters pertaining to flood events in the Waikato Region.

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.

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.

  • 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.
