  • 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.

It is unique in being a previous channel of the Waimakariri River (the North Branch), receiving drainage from several major plains tributaries, and being strongly tidal over several kilometres of its length. It is a highly valued river, a culturally important waterway, a designated port and navigational waterway, and an important recreational and fishery resource. However, in recent years there have been complaints of degradation of its water quality and ecology.

    Environmental Scan March 2020 www.mdc.govt.nz Environmental Scan 2020 1 Contents INTRODUCTION 5 SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PROFILE 11 ECONOMIC PROFILE 21 ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE 31 MAJOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS/PROJECTS 37 GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS, LEGISLATION, 39 INQUIRIES AND NATIONAL TRENDS BIBLIOGRAPHY 60 2 Environmental Scan 2020 Environmental Scan 2020 3 Introduction An Environmental Scan looks at what changes are likely to affect the future internal and external operating environment for Manawatū District Council (Council). It looks at where the community is heading and what we, as Council, should be doing about it. It should lead to a discussion with elected members about what tools Council has available to influence the direction the community is taking. The purpose of local government, as set out in the Local Government Act 2002 includes reference to the role of local authorities in promoting the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of their communities. The indicators included in this report have been grouped into each of the wellbeings under the headings of “Social and Cultural Profile,” “Economic Profile” and “Environmental Profile.” However, it is recognised that the many of these indicators have impacts across multiple wellbeings. Council has used the most up-to-date data available to prepare this Environmental Scan. In some cases this data is historic trend data, sometimes it is current at the time the Environmental Scan was finalised, and in some cases Council has used data and trends to prepare future forecasts. Council does not intend to update the Environmental Scan over time, but the forecasting assumptions contained within Council’s Ten Year Plan will be continually updated up until adoption.
