Water loading: a neglected factor in the analysis of piezometric time series from confined aquifers (Note)
(The New Zealand Hydrological Society, 1995)Seasonal changes in the volume of near-surface water cause synchronous changes in the piezometric head of any deeper confined aquifer exhibiting a barometric response. Such loading-induced head changes occur independently ... -
Water quality assessment, trophic classification and water resources management
(Scientific Research Publication, 2010)Quantification of water quality (WQ) is an integral part of scientifically based water resources management. The main objective of this study was comparative analysis of two approaches applied for quantitative assessment ... -
A water quality model for Lake Tikitapu
(Environmental Research Institute, Faculty of Science and Engineering, The University of Waikato, 2014)Lake Tikitapu is a small lake in the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes region which is extensively used for recreation and sporting events, and is of cultural significance to Iwi (Te Arawa). It is an attractive and popular lake with ... -
Water relations and carbon dioxide exchange of epiphytic lichens in the Namib fog desert
(Elsevier, 2007)Although there is only negligible rainfall, frequent nocturnal fog, dew and high air humidity support a luxurious lichen vegetation in the coastal zone of the central NamibDesert (Namibia). In earlier publications, we have ... -
Water relations and CO₂ exchange of the terrestrial lichen Teloschistes capensis in the Namib fog desert: Measurements during two seasons in the field and under controlled conditions
(Elsevier, 2006)Although the coastal zone of the Central Namib Desert (Namibia) has negligible rainfall, frequent fog, dew and high air humidity support a luxurious lichen flora. Large areas of soil crust communities are dominated by the ... -
Water requirements for 'Hass' avocado flowering and fruit development in New Zealand
(University of Waikato, 2016)The aim of this work was to determine water requirements for Persea americana 'Hass’ avocado trees (mature, ca. 9 years and young, ca. 3 years) from November 2014 to October 2015 in Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. In addition, ... -
Water resource management in New Zealand: Jobs or algal blooms?
(Elsevier, 2012-10)New Zealand faces a choice between environmental improvement and dairy industry profitability and employment, since improved water quality in lakes and rivers may require measures that will reduce net farm profit. Environmental ... -
Water systems: New Zealand particularly vulerable to climate change
(New Zealand Planning Institute, 2018-03)This article outlines the findings of research commissioned by the Deep South National Science Challenge - a major interdisciplinary collaboration designed to help enable New Zealanders to adapt, manage risk, and thrive ... -
Water temperature and upstream migration of glass eels in New Zealand: implications of climate change
(Springer, 2008)Glass eels migrating upstream in a New Zealand river showed a clear preference for water temperatures between 12 and 20°C, with an optimum of 16.5°C. Water temperatures <12°C and >22°C almost completely inhibited migration, ... -
Water use efficiency of grazed pastures under contrasting diversity
(The University of Waikato, 2017)Agriculture must increase food production to support a growing global population; however, this required increase in production is potentially restricted by freshwater supply for irrigation. Consequently, relying on ... -
Water vapor transfer over the Southwest Pacific: Mean patterns and variations during wet and dry periods
(American Meteorological Society, 1984)The mean water vapor transfer of the Southwest Pacific, as determined from radiosonde records near the 170°E meridional transect, is computed for the 1960–73 period. Emphasis is placed on defining average patterns, then ... -
The waters of the Maori: Maori law and state law
(2017)This paper is for filing in the Waitangi Tribunal in relation to a claim that existing laws do not adequately accommodate the Māori proprietary interest in natural, water resources. The claim was initiated by the New Zealand ... -
Wave dissipation by flexible vegetation
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical model that accounts for bending of ... -
Wave energy dissipation by anisotropic viscosity in magnetic x-points
(UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2007-10)The viscous dissipation of axial field disturbances in planar magnetic X-points is examined. It is emphasized that an accurate treatment requires a nonisotropic tensor viscosity whose components are governed by the local ... -
Wave induced sediment transport on intertidal flats in a fetch limited environment, Pine Harbour Marina, Auckland
(University of Waikato, 1996)This study investigates the nature of sediments and the role of tides, currents, waves and winds in driving sediment transport on the intertidal flats and shallow subtidal areas in the vicinity of Pine Harbour Marina which ... -
Wave mixed, wind-generated near-surface shear observed over a tidal flat
(Elsevier, 2012)Around high tide over a flooded tidal flat, vertical shear measured 0.13–0.4 m beneath the sea surface by upward-looking Acoustic Doppler Profilers (ADPs) was usually aligned with the wind. However, shear did not increase ... -
Wave runup during extreme storm conditions
(American Geophysical Union, 2011)Video measurements of wave runup were collected during extreme storm conditions characterized by energetic long swells (peak period of 16.4 s and offshore height up to 6.4 m) impinging on steep foreshore beach slopes ... -
Wave-frequency flows within a near-bed vegetation canopy
(Elsevier Ltd., 2017)We study water flows and wave dissipation within near-bed pneumatophore canopies at the wave-exposed fringe of a mangrove forest on Cù Lao Dung Island, in the Mekong Delta. To evaluate canopy drag, the three-dimensional ... -
Wave-induced sediment transport on an estuarine intertidal flat
(The University of Waikato, 2004)Waves and tides are the primary processes responsible for sediment entrainment on estuarine intertidal flats, however a detailed understanding of the temporal and spatial variability of wave processes, and the way in which ... -
Waveguide joint design and validation for use in acoustic vector-corrected network analysers
(2019)The Vector-corrected Network Analyser (VNA) has been an indispensable tool for many decades in the field of RF and microwave engineering where the availability of calibrated and traceable results is taken for granted. ...
