Action Plan 2016-21 ACTION PLAN 2016-21 1 VISION Kei te ora te wai, kei te ora te whenua, kei te ora te tangata If the water is healthy, the land and the people are nourished GOALS Our goal is to improve the Manawatū River, the mauri (lifeforce) of the Manawatū River Catchment such that it sustains fish species and is suitable for contact recreation, in balance with the social, cultural and economic activities of the catchment community. This goal represents a community opportunity to develop leadership in catchment improvement and capture the social and economic benefits of such leadership. 1. The Manawatū River becomes a source of 3. The Manawatū Catchment and waterways regional pride and mana. are returned to a healthy condition. 2. Waterways in the Manawatū Catchment are 4. Sustainable use of the land and water safe, accessible, swimmable* and provide resources of the Manawatū Catchment good recreation and food resources. continues to underpin the economic prosperity of the Region. *Noting that some parts of the catchment by their nature are not safe for swimming. Background The first Action Plan was launched by As part of achieving these goals, leaders committed to WHO’S INVOLVED? the Manawatū River Leaders’ Forum in developing their first Action Plan made up of over July 2011 and led to a significant amount 130 actions. The Manawatū River Leaders’ Accord unites 34 diverse of collaborative effort right across the A significant amount of work was carried out under signatories representing a wide range of stakeholder organisations including: Iwi/hapū, local and central Catchment.

  • 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.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE LATE QUATERNARY GEOMORPHOLOGY OF THE LOWER MANAWATU A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Geography at Massey University by PATRICK ALAN HESP 1975 ABSTRACT The geomorphology of the present Lower Manawa tu floodplain and the valleys that exit at the margin of the floodplain, is presented. An introduction to the geology and geomorphology of the study area is given, and previous studies are reported where relevant. Two types of tributary valleys have been recognised in the study area. These valleys have been cut into the Tokomaru Marine Terrace. The first type recognised are predominantly gravel-floored, box-shaped valleys with headwaters in the Tararua Ranges. The second and major type recognised are box-shaped valleys without gravel floors. The first type have been formed by normal fluvial processes, while the second type were originally V-shaped, and have been infilled by estuarine sedimentation processes. The latter occurred as a direct result of the Flandrian Transgression. The morphology of the Tokoma ru Marine Terrace margin is examined, and it is concluded that the margin is predominantly river-cut. The Manawatu floodplain was originally an estuary. As the Flandrian Transgression began the lower reaches of the Manawatu and eventually the Oroua Rivers were drowned. As the Transgression progressed, the Lower Manawatu became an estuary.

  • Application and Evaluation of Sediment Fingerprinting Techniques in the Manawatu River Catchment, New Zealand
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Application and Evaluation of Sediment Fingerprinting Techniques in the Manawatu River Catchment, New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand Simon Vale 2016 ii Abstract Suspended sediment is an important component of the fluvial environment, contributing not only to the physical form, but also the chemical and ecological character of river channels and adjacent floodplains. Fluvial sediment flux reflects erosion of the contributing catchment, which when enhanced can lead to a reduction in agricultural productivity, effect morphological changes in the riparian environment and alter aquatic ecosystems by elevating turbidity levels and degrading water quality. It is therefore important to identify catchment-scale erosion processes and understand rates of sediment delivery, transport and deposition into the fluvial system to be able to mitigate such adverse effects. Sediment fingerprinting is a well-used tool for evaluating sediment sources, capable of directly quantifying sediment supply through differentiating sediment sources based on their inherent geochemical signatures and statistical modelling. Confluence-based sediment fingerprinting has achieved broad scale geochemical discrimination within the 5870 km2 Manawatu catchment, which drains terrain comprising soft-rock Tertiary and Quaternary sandstones, mudstones, limestones and more indurated greywacke. Multiple sediment samples were taken upstream and downstream of major river confluences, sieved to < 63 μm and analysed through step-wise discrimination, principle component analysis and a range of geochemical indicators to investigate and identify the sub- catchment geochemical signatures.
