  • Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING
    6. ‘At Every Bend a Chief, At Every Bend a Chief, Waikato of One Hundred Chiefs’: Mapping the Socio- Political Life of the Waikato River MARAMA MURU-LANNING Introduction At 425 kilometres, the Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, and a vital resource for the country (McCan 1990: 33–5). Officially beginning at Nukuhau near Taupo township, the river is fed by Lake Taupo and a number of smaller rivers and streams throughout its course. Running swiftly in a northwesterly direction, the river passes through many urban, forested and rural areas. Over the past 90 years, the Waikato River has been adversely impacted by dams built for hydro-electricity generation, by runoff and fertilisers associated with farming and forestry, and by the waste waters of several major industries and urban centres. At Huntly, north of Taupiri (see Figure 6.1), the river’s waters are further sullied when they are warmed during thermal electricity generation processes. For Māori, another major desecration of the Waikato River occurs when its waters are diverted and mixed with waters from other sources, so that they can be drunk by people living in Auckland. 137 Island Rivers Figure 6.1 A socio-political map of the Waikato River and catchment. Source: Created by Peter Quin, University of Auckland. As the Waikato River is an important natural resource, it has a long history of people making claims to it, including Treaty of Waitangi1 claims by Māori for guardianship recognition and management and property rights.2 This process of claiming has culminated in a number of tribes 1 The Treaty of Waitangi was signed by the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs in 1840.

  • Contents of Blue Duck Faeces from the Tongariro River
    CONTENTS OF BLUE DUCK FAECES FROM THE TONGARIRO RIVER By M.D. WAKELIN ABSTRACT Aquatic invertebrates were extracted and identified from seven Blue Duck faeces collected fromthe Tongariro River in December 1990. A total of 927 aquatic invertebrates representing 37 taxa was identified. Over all samples, 45% of the aquatic invertebrates extracted were Chironornidae (samples ranging from 19-76%), 28% Trichoptera (ranging 11-49%), and 16% Ephemeroptera (ranging 2-42%). The dominant chironomid was Eukiefferiella sp., although Ctitotopus spp. were also relatively abundant in some samples. Cased caddisflies were the main Trichoptera in all samples, but no one taxon was consistently dominant. Plecoptera comprised 0-20% of invertebrates in the faeces. In most samples collected below Tree Trunk Gorge, chironomids comprised -61% of individuals recorded in the faeces, whereas above the gorge they comprised -40%in any sample. Overall, the diet of Blue Duck on the Tongariro River in December 1990 was variable in terms of the proportions of species and the number of invertebrates that were consumed. This has also been shown in studies of Blue Duck diet on other rivers. INTRODUCTION The Blue Duck (Hymenolaimusmalacorhphos) is an endemic duck largely restricted to forested upland catchments in the central North Island and the west coast of the South Island (Fordyce 1976). Its main food is aquatic invertebrates, which it mainly gleans from submerged rock surfaces (Kear & Burton 1971, Craig 1974, Fordyce & Tunnicliffe 1973, Eldridge 1986, Veltman & Williams 1990). To understand more fully the range of invertebrate species and their proportions eaten, I analysed Blue Duck faeces taken from the upper section of the Tongariro River.

  • Notes on the Hydrology of the Waikato River
    EARTH SCIENCE JOURNAL, Vol. 1, No. 1, 1967 NOTES ON THE HYDROLOGY OF THE W AIKATO RIVER G. T. Ridall Hydrologist, Waikato Valley Authority GENERAL The catchment area of the Waikato River is 5,500 square miles. If its source is accepted as being the Upper Waikato, then its distance to the sea at Port Waikato including its journey through Lake Taupo is 266 miles. It rises, together with the Whangaehu, the Rangitikei and the Wanganui, between the volcanic region of Ruapehu 9,000 ft. above sea level and the Kaimanawa Ranges 5,000 ft. above sea level. The river flows northwards for 34 miles into Lake Taupo, losing its identity into the Tongariro for the last 26 miles to the lake. It emerges from Lake Taupo resuming its proper name and, still flowing northwards, passes for more than 100 miles through a series of lakes formed by hydro- electric dams to Cambridge. From here it continues through a deeply incised channel to Ngaruawahia where it is joined by its major tributary, the Waipa River. From Ngaruawahia to the mouth, a distance of 60 miles, shallow lakes and peat swamps predominate on both sides of the river, many of them protected and drained and developed into rich dairy farms. From Mercer, 35 miles downstream of Ngaruawahia, where slight tidal effects are discernable at low flows, the river changes its general northerly direction to a westerly one and, still 9 miles from the mouth, enters the delta. Here it is fragmented into many channels before emptying into the broad expanse of Maioro Bay and finally emerges by two fairly narrow channels into the sea on the west coast, 25 miles south of Manukau Heads.
