Story

Der Whakatane River ist ein 95 km langer Fluss auf der Nordinsel von Neuseeland dessen Flussbett auf einer der geologisch aktivsten Verwerfungen des Landes liegt, dort wo sich die Pazifische Platte unter die Australische Platte schiebt.In der Sprache der Māori bedeutet whakatāne so viel wie männliche Qualitäten zeigen.GeografieDer Whakatane River entspringt in den Huiarau Range knapp 10 km südlich des kleinen Ortes Ruatahuna und gut 5 km nordnordwestlich des Lake Waikaremoana inmitten des Te Urewera National Parks. Von dort aus fließt der Fluss direkt in Richtung Norden, entlang der Ostseite der Ikawhenua und der Raungaehe Range und erreicht die Bay of Plenty durch die Stadt Whakatāne wo er schließlich in den Pazifischen Ozean mündet. Das Tal des Flusses liegt zum Teil auf der derzeit aktivsten Verwerfung Neuseelands dem Whakatane Rift-System, der als die nördlichen Verlängerung der Wellington-Verwerfung gilt.Der Fluss entwässert mit einer Fließgeschwindigkeit von 200 m3/sek. in trockenen Zeiten und bei Hochwasser mit 30.000 m3/sek. ein Gebiet von etwa 232 km2. Durchschnittlich zweimal im Jahr überflutet der Whakatane River eine Ebene von etwa 4 km2 oberhalb von Whakatane.
