  • The 1934 Pahiatua Earthquake Sequence: Analysis of Observational and Instrumental Data

    221 THE 1934 PAHIATUA EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE: ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL AND INSTRUMENTAL DATA Gaye Downes1' 2, David Dowrick1' 4, Euan Smith3' 4 and Kelvin Berryman1' 2 ABSTRACT Descriptive accounts and analysis of local seismograms establish that the epicentre of the 1934 March 5 M,7.6 earthquake, known as the Pahiatua earthquake, was nearer to Pongaroa than to Pahiatua. Conspicuous and severe damage (MM8) in the business centre of Pahiatua in the northern Wairarapa led early seismologists to name the earthquake after the town, but it has now been found that the highest intensities (MM9) occurred about 40 km to the east and southeast of Pahiatua, between Pongaroa and Bideford. Uncertainties in the location of the epicentre that have existed for sixty years are now resolved with the epicentre determined in this study lying midway between those calculated in the 1930' s by Hayes and Bullen. Damage and intensity summaries and a new isoseismal map, derived from extensive newspaper reports and from 1934 Dominion Observatory "felt reports", replace previous descriptions and isoseismal maps. A stable solution for the epicentre of the mainshock has been obtained by analysing phase arrivals read from surviving seismograms of the rather small and poorly equipped 1934 New Zealand network of twelve stations (two privately owned). The addition of some teleseismic P arrivals to this solution shifts the location of the epicentre by less than 10 km. It lies within, and to the northern end of, the MM9 isoseismal zone. Using local instrumental data larger aftershocks and other moderate magnitude earthquakes that occurred within 10 days and 50 km of the mainshock have also been located.

    Wairarapa Train Services: Survey Results

    Wairarapa train services: survey results Introduction Greater Wellington Regional Council carried out a survey of passengers on the north-bound Wairarapa trains on 22 June 2011 as part of the Wairarapa Public Transport Service Review. A total of 725 completed forms were returned. We would like to thank passengers and train-staff for your help with this survey. A summary of the results are shown below. The full survey report is available at www.gw.govt.nz/wairarapareview Where people live and how they get to the station About 25% of passengers live in each of Masterton, Carterton or Featherston. A further 13% of passengers live in Greytown and 6% in Martinborough. Sixty-eight percent of passengers travel to the station by car (57% parking their car at the station and 11% being dropped off). A further 23% of passengers walk or cycle to the station and 7% use the bus. Origin and destination The main boarding station in Wairarapa is Featherston (33%), followed by Masterton (28%), Carterton (25%) and Woodside (12%). Most passengers (85%) are going to Wellington, with the rest (15%) going to the Hutt Valley. Why people use the train, and purpose and frequency of travel The main reason people said they use the train is because it is cheaper than taking the car (56% of passengers) and a significant number also said it is quicker than driving (29% of passengers). Comfort (45% of passengers) and ability to work on the train (47% of passengers) were also important. Twenty-six percent of passengers also indicated that it’s environmentally responsible and 20% said they had no other transport option.

Introduction This report summarises the meteorology and hydrology of the 15 – 16 February 2004 storm event that affected the Wellington region. The report gives an overview of the synoptic weather patterns, quantifies the rainfall and river flows, and provides a frequency analysis of the event. The hydrological data used is from Greater Wellington Regional Council’s environmental monitoring network, supplemented with data from NIWA, the MetService and private landowners. During the storm event slips and flooding caused damage in many parts of the region, in particular in southern Wairarapa, Wainuiomata, the Hutt Valley and Eastbourne. However, this report is a hydrological analysis and does not describe the effect of flood protection measures, the damage that occurred or the civil defence response during the event. Throughout February 2004 there were several storms that affected parts of the Wellington region.

    Very Wet in Many Parts and an Extremely Cold Snap for the South

    New Zealand Climate Summary: June 2015 Issued: 3 July 2015 Very wet in many parts and an extremely cold snap for the south. Rainfall Rainfall was above normal (120-149%) or well above normal (> 149%) for much of the Manawatu-Whanganui, Taranaki, Westland, Tasman, Nelson, Marlborough, Canterbury, Otago, and Southland regions. Rainfall was well below normal (< 50%) or below normal (50-79%) for parts of Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay, and north Canterbury. Temperature June temperatures were near average across much of the country (within 0.5°C of June average). Below average temperatures were recorded in inland Canterbury, Wairarapa, western Waikato (0.5-1.2°C below June average) and above average temperatures experienced in northern, eastern, and western parts of the North Island and northern, western, and south-central parts of the South Island (0.5-1.2°C above June average). A polar outbreak in late June led to the 4th-lowest temperature ever recorded in New Zealand. Soil Moisture As of 1 July 2015, soil moisture levels were below normal for this time of year for East Cape, around and inland from Napier, coastal Wairarapa, coastal southern Marlborough and eastern parts of Canterbury north of Christchurch. It was especially dry about north Canterbury where soils were considerably drier than normal for this time of year. Sunshine Well above normal (>125%) or above normal (110-125%) sunshine was recorded in Northland, Auckland, western Waikato, Wellington, Marlborough, north Canterbury, and Central Otago. Near normal sunshine (within 10% of normal) was recorded elsewhere, expect in Franz Josef and Tauranga where below normal sunshine was recorded.

There was a whole group of schools in this area that worked closely together. 16 Kilometres from Eketahuna, 19 kilometres from Pahiatua 1896 3rd October 1896 . On the Eketahuna-Woodville line the contract for the Mangatainoka bridge has been completed. The rails have already been laid past the Hukanui Station, and will reach Tutaekura early next month, and Makakahi later in the same month. The section to Hukanui is already -available, for goods traffic, and the further sections to Tutaekura and Makakahi will be ready for working in about December and January next respectively. The Ngawapurua Bridge, across the Manawatu River, between Woodville and Pahiatua, is now in need of extensive repairs and strengthening, in order to enable it to accommodate the heavy traffic which will pass over this railway 1897 Wigo 1897 25 Hukanui Anderson Master £100 $17,839 21st January 1897 Wellington Education Board New school at Hukanui, T.
