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. -

Perspectives
CHAPTER 3 PERSPECTIVES 3.1 Introduction To background the issues before us, this chapter considers perspectives about claimant views and the river in more recent times. It covers the claimants’ beliefs, recollections, experiences, and hopes that deåne the nature of their current association with the river, their concerns over despoliation, and their claim for the restoration of their traditional authority. Their views, and additional material on river use and degradation, explain the concerns that gave rise to the claim. A Pakeha perspective follows as a reminder of other interests in the river and other opinions on its management. 3.2 The First People 3.2.1 Past voices Atawhai (Archie) Taiaroa, the chairman of the Whanganui River Maori Trust Board, opened the people’s submissions, and following Maori tradition, honoured the forebears before addressing the living. He referred to the longstanding nature of the claim and stated that the Whanganui iwi: are embarrassed after 118 years of making applications to diäerent forums, to diäerent levels of government, trying to prove who they are, trying to say ‘This is our tupuna awa, this is our ancestor’, and to come again today to make the same presentation. And as such they are saying, ‘This is it’.1 The claim, he added, was a memorial not only to the past leaders ‘but to the many who have passed through the 118 years’. We thus recall the words of Te Keepa Rangihiwinui, one of the årst former river leaders to argue that the old Maori laws for the river should still apply, in a letter of 1876 to the Whanganui Harbour and River Conservation Board: 1. -

The Seabed and Foreshore case continues to carry on and was further deliberated at the Omaka hui on 29 and 30 of August 2003. The concentration of work over the last couple of months has been around preparation for the Genesis Appeal, Seabed and Foreshore activities, and a consultation round in relation to Te Awa Tupua Negotiations. The Land Claims Judicial Conferences were held in Whanganui on the 7th and 8th of August. They dealt with the pending timetable, research and resource issues. A further research hui was held at the Chateau on 9 September 2003 for the Whanganui enquiry. The Trust Board has been working hard to try and improve our communication networks. We have sent out panui asking for confirmation of Hapu Delegates to Te Runanga O Te Awa Tupua O Whanganui so that we can ensure the right people are receiving the right information.
