Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Wairoa River runs south-southwest from its headwaters in the Hunua Ranges, where it is impounded by the Wairoa Dam to form one of several reservoirs that slake Auckland''s thirst. It then turns northward, falling over the Hunua Falls before veering northeastward at Clevedon. It finally winds through an estuary to reach its entrance to the Hauraki Gulf at Pouto Point.The Wairoa River runs north into Tauranga Harbour at the western end of the Bay of Plenty in New Zealand''s North island.In the mid-1970s the Tauranga Joint Generation Committee proposed a hydroelectric power scheme for the Wairoa River. The newly formed Kaimai Canoe Club opposed the scheme at the water rights headings. A compromise was arrived at by allowing the release of water on a regular basis for whitewater recreation.
