  • The Signature of an Extreme Erosion Event on Suspended Sediment Loads: Motueka River Catchment, South Island, New Zealand
    184 Sediment Dynamics in Changing Environments (Proceedings of a symposium held in Christchurch, New Zealand, December 2008). IAHS Publ. 325, 2008. The signature of an extreme erosion event on suspended sediment loads: Motueka River catchment, South Island, New Zealand D. M. HICKS1 & L. R. BASHER2 1 National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research, PO Box 8602, Christchurch, New Zealand [email protected] 2 Landcare Research, Private Bag 6, Nelson Mail Centre, Nelson 7042, New Zealand Abstract Five years of continuously monitoring turbidity and suspended sediment (SS) at four sites in the Motueka River catchment, northern South Island, New Zealand, has characterised the downstream and temporal dispersion of high SS inputs from an extreme rainfall event. The rainstorm, of >50 year recurrence interval, was concentrated in the upper Motueka and Motupiko tributaries and delivered high sediment outputs from re-activated gully complexes and landslides. These only appear to activate when a rainfall threshold is exceeded. Monitoring stations in these tributaries captured a ~20- to 30-fold increase in SS concentrations and event sediment yields, whereas the monitoring station at the coast recorded only a 2- to 5-fold increase. The high concentrations and event yields decayed exponentially back towards normal levels over ~2–3 years at both upstream and downstream sites. Field observations suggest that this erosion recovery trend relates more to the exhaustion/stabilisation of transient riparian sediment storage than to “healing” of the primary erosion sites by surface-armouring and/or re-vegetation. The downstream decay relates both to dilution (from other tributaries carrying lower SS concentrations) and dispersion processes.

Literature review and synthesis 2.1 PHYSICAL SETTING The Motueka Catchment is situated at the Moutere gravels, and from the west by a series western margin of the Moutere Depression of generally much larger tributaries, which drain and drains an area of 2180 km2 – the largest both hilly terrain on Moutere gravels (Motupiko, catchment in the Nelson region (Fig. 1). It flows Tadmor) and mountainous terrain underlain by a into Tasman Bay, a shallow but productive complex assemblage of sedimentary and coastal water body of high economic, igneous rocks (Wangapeka, Baton, Pearse, ecological and cultural significance. The Graham, Pokororo, Rocky River and Brooklyn Riwaka River drains a 105 km2 catchment that Stream). Similarly, the Riwaka River drains flows into Tasman Bay 3 km north of the dominantly mountainous terrain underlain by Motueka River mouth (Fig. 1 and Photo 1a). sedimentary and igneous rocks. The major subcatchments and their areas are listed in Table The main stem4 of the Motueka River rises in 1. Elevation ranges from sea level up to 1600– the Red Hills and flows north for about 110 1850 metres on the catchment divide in the km to the sea (Fig. 1). The river is joined from upper reaches of the Motueka, Baton and the east by a series of small and medium-sized Wangapeka rivers. Most of the catchment lies at tributaries (Stanley Brook, Dove, Orinoco, and relatively low elevation, with more than 50% Waiwhero) draining hilly terrain underlain by being between sea level and 500 m. 4 This is the main stem of the Motueka only in a geographical sense; hydrologically the Wangapeka is more important as it drains a larger area and contributes more water.
