excess of 5000 mm’s on the slopes of Mt Taranaki. Median annual rainfall is
shown in Figure 3 for the Taranaki region which shows the strong spatial variation.
Heavy rainfall is meteorologically defined to be “when greater than 100 mm of rain falls
within 24 hours, or a pro rata amount” (Thompson et al. 2006). The regions heaviest
rainfall occurs when warm moist northerly airflow flow from the tropics flows onto the
district. These conditions can persist when fronts lying
of birdlife. It has been noted that
the South Taranaki ring plain contains a very sparse bird life, owing to the lack of
habitat (Fish and Game, 2006).
2.1.2 Hydrological values
Intact small streams and wetlands provide natural flood control, absorbing significant
amounts of rain water and runoff before saturation and consequent flooding occurs.
Natural stream channels tend to meander and provide a variety of substrate types
which slow the flow and energy of water, aiding seepage
decaying
vegetation does not fall or leach into the lake. The last two special conditions specify a lapse
date, should this consent not be exercised within five years of it being granted, and provide
for a review, if required.
Opunake Power holds land use consent 5581-1 to cover the damming of the Waiaua River
in association with the Opunake hydroelectric power scheme. This permit was issued by the
Taranaki Regional Council on 21 March 2001 under Section 87(e) of the Resource
Management Act.
