Tidal Hydrology in Pegasus Bay G
EARTH SCIENCE JOURNAL, VOL. 1, No. 2, 1967 TIDAL HYDROLOGY IN PEGASUS BAY G. J. BLAKE, Ministry of Works, Wellington Abstract Changes in the geomorphology of the coastal plain river mouths of Pegasus Bay over the last 100 years are considered. Comment is also made on estuarine sediment and flow, the difficulty of measuring these two quantities and the need to treat the estuarine channel of a river as an important part of the catchment. INTRODUCTION New Zealand hydrologists are very much concerned with river catchment analysis but as yet have not considered the tidal section in detail. The river channel from its mouth to the maximum distance upstream of tidal influence is a complex section where fluvial and marine processes combine and conventional flow gauging methods prove unreliable. Observations from the lower reaches of some typical New Zealand rivers (Blake, 1963) indicate some of the tidal channel details and gauging problems. The rivers studied in North Canterbury were:- Slope of Upstream River Catchment channel Saline Foreshore Area "Flow (100-0 ft. limit Sediment (Sq. Miles) m.s.l.) approx. at mouth (ft/ft) (mls) Waimakariri I 1250 Perennial 0.On18 2.00 Sand Ashley 447 Perennial 0.0034 0.75 Sand 95 Inter- 0.10054 0.25 Shingle Kowhai I mittent ·Waipara 285 Perennial 0:0054 0.25 Shingle CHANNEL FORM Wave action, generally reduced but variable flow velocities, aggradation and the tendency to meander combine to cause the mouth to migrate along the coastline. In several hundred years the Waimakariri river has moved along fifty miles of coastline north and south of Banks Peninsula (Jobberns, 1927). -
Introduction Getting There the Hurunui River the Waiau River
Introduction The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers offer a more relaxed fishing experience than the bigger braided rivers further south. They are home to North Canterbury’s best populations of brown trout in addition to seasonal populations of sea run salmon. The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers flow through hills for most of their length and are Canterbury’s most scenic braided rivers. In places, the presence of hills on the riverbanks make access challenging but anglers who put in the effort should be well rewarded. Getting There The Waiau River The Hurunui and Waiau Rivers lie around 90 and 130 kilometres north clears after a fresh. The section of river on either side of the State The Waiau River runs through a series of gorges from the Alps to the of Christchurch City respectively. The lower reaches are accessed from Highway 7 (Balmoral) Bridge is the easiest to access. Mid January until sea. Access can be difficult in places but is more than made up for by roads leading off State Highway 1. Both rivers benefit from a number mid March is the best time to fish for salmon in the Hurunui River. the stunning scenery on offer. The Waiau Mouth is a popular spot for of bridges which are the principle access points for anglers wishing to salmon fishing but can only be accessed by launching a jet boat at fish the middle reaches. In the upper reaches of the Hurunui, access is Populations of brown trout can be found anywhere from the mouth up Spotswood and boating downstream for ten minutes. -

Many Holocene alluvial and marine deposits in and around Christchurch experienced minor to severe liquefaction during the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquake sequence. Liquefaction and permanent ground deformations were most severe in the city during the 22 February 2011 event. Permanent horizontal ground displacements up to 0.35 m also occurred at several locations in moderately sloping Pleistocene loess-colluvium in the Port Hills area, but no sand/silt boil has been connected to those deposits. -

After viewing the locomotive turn on the turntable and checking out the historic station building, cross the road and head down the willow-lined Waikari Village Walkway. A short stroll down the walkway leads you to a yellow sign pointing towards the ridgeline. This is the beginning of the 1½ hour return Weka Pass Historic Reserve walkway across farmland to a large limestone overhang shelter, containing examples of ancient Maori rock art in vivid kokowai clay. The subjects of their drawings were simple human figures, fish and dogs. Some drawings are more imaginative; others are little more than scribbles. Please note the walkway is closed during the lambing season in August. After a bite to eat in one of Waikari’s great food outlets, climb aboard the 3:10pm departure back to your car at Glenmark. An afternoon family escape Invite the whole family along for an afternoon out in North Canterbury. Invite the grandparents too – they may be eligible for a GoldCard discount on this afternoon trip.
