Detecting signals of climatic shifts and land use change from precipitation and river discharge variations: The Whanganui and Waikato catchments
(University of Waikato, 2012)The Whanganui and Waikato river catchments have somewhat different degrees of exposure to the westerly wind systems. It is of interest to determine whether the two regions have similar times of occurrence of any concurrent ... -
Developing groundwater and surface water interaction methods for complex hydrological systems
(University of Waikato, 2016)Methods and models associated with the interaction of surface-subsurface water flow have been widely employed in many environmental studies over the last decade. However, in spite of considerable effort, understanding the ... -
Evaluating the potential for a multi-use seasonal pumped storage scheme in New Zealand’s South Island
(The University of Waikato, 2019)A simulation evaluation is presented of the seasonal operation a possible 1,300 MW pumped storage scheme in New Zealand. The simulations are with respect to a site in Central Otago, where the existing Lake Onslow is expanded ... -
Evaluating the potential of constructed groundwater systems to improve the water supply operations of Auckland City, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 2002)A range of constructed groundwater systems are evaluated for augmenting the potable water supply of Auckland City, New Zealand. The term ‘constructed groundwater systems’ encompasses any constructed means of recharging or ... -
Fluxes of carbon dioxide and water vapour at a Waikato peat bog
(The University of Waikato, 2003)New Zealand wetlands are threatened entities and the remaining 15% of pre-European freshwater wetlands are important refuges for plant and animal species, while also providing historical information on past environmental ... -
Forecasting Lake Waikaremoana Water Availability for Hydro Power
(University of Waikato, 2011)Lake Waikaremoana is a high-altitude, large-volume lake located within the rugged terrain of the Urewera National Park. At the lake outflow a rapid elevation change of nearly 450 metres in 8 kilometres facilitates the ... -
Groundwater flow dynamics beneath a wastewater irrigation site, Hautapu, Cambridge
(The University of Waikato, 1999)In this study, a qualitative groundwater hydrological model is developed to assist in evaluating the long-term environmental sustainability of a wastewater irrigation system at Hautapu, Cambridge. The model relies on the ... -
Lake level forecasting for hydro power operation in the Clutha catchment
(The University of Waikato, 2019)The Clutha River is New Zealand’s largest river, located within New Zealand’s largest catchment. The river runs through two hydro-power stations, the Clyde Dam and downstream the Roxburgh Dam, together providing around 10% ... -
Managed aquifer recharge in the Poverty Bay flats?
(University of Waikato, 2015)Groundwater use within the Poverty Bay flats has increased over the past 35 years due to land use changes. As a result, groundwater levels within the Makauri and Matokitoki Gravel aquifers are declining at statistically ... -
Selected data exploration methods in hydroclimatology
(University of Waikato, 2016)The volumes of climatological data are rapidly growing due to development of new acquisition platforms and advances in data storage technologies. Such advances provide new challenging problems for data analysis methods. ... -
Studies of source area hydrology under indigenous forest and pastoral agriculture in the Hapuakohe Range, North Island, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 1984)This thesis describes a systematic study of hillslope runoff processes and stream flow processes from two forms of land use characteristic of the New Zealand steep land environment: indigenous forest (podocarp-hardwood ... -
Surface hydrologic modeling and GIS: a case study of the Kaimai Hydropower project catchment, New Zealand
(The University of Waikato, 1998)The recent trend towards spatial hydrologic modeling is due to advances in the field of geographic information systems (GIS). Spatially distributed models take into account the spatial variability within the catchment and ...
