	Abel Tasman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tasman was born in Groningen, Holland, in 1603.
		Tasman had some knowledge of the prevailing winds and so he chose Mauritius as a turning point and from there a course was set towards what was presumed to be the southern coast of Australia.
		Tasman had intended to proceed in a northerly direction but as the wind was unfavourable he steered east, and on 13 December sighted land on the north-west coast of South Island, New Zealand.

	Tasman, New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tasman District is a region at the northern tip of New Zealand's largest island, the South Island.
		Tasman Bay, the largest indentation in the north coast of the South Island of New Zealand, was named after Abel Tasman, the first reported European discoverer of New Zealand.
		The main iwi represented in the wider Tasman region are Ngati Rarua, Ngati Tama (Golden Bay and Tasman Bay), Te Atiawa, Ngati Koata, Ngati Kuia (eastern Tasman Bay) and the Poutini Ngai Tahu (southern areas).

		The effect on the salmonid populations from changes in river flow are considered to be minor, as the quantity of water required for irrigation from the Lower Waitaki River is small in proportion to flow as discussed in Appendix E.3.4).
		As indicated in the base case (Section 1.2), the rivers downgradient of the main hydropower storage dams are severely effected by existing hydroelectric generation, which may indicate that additional in-river effects are not likely to be significant.
		Ongoing river management as described in the Project Aqua AEE, including the proposed flow regime, management of river braids and vegetation, and wetland enhancement is designed to mitigate potential effects on salmonid populations.

		Physiography of the Waipaoa River Basin and adjacent seafloor.
		During lowstands, the Waipaoa River presumably led towards the shelf edge, although the exact point of discharge is not obvious as the course of the ancestral river has not been traced entirely across the shelf.
		The major rivers of the Eastern South Island Sedimentary System constitute a line source and northward flowing, along-strike, currents influence sediment dispersal patterns offshore (sands are deposited on the inner shelf, muds move northward, and the Bounty Fan is inactive), though lakes now trap much of the sediment load of the Clutha and Waitaki rivers.

	Making concrete: ecological implications of gravel extraction in New Zealand rivers - NIWA Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Gravel-bed rivers close to urban areas are ideal sources of material for concrete and roading aggregates.
		River engineers manage extraction rates to maintain the flood capacity of channels by seeking a balance between extraction rates and the naturally occurring gravel supply from catchment headwaters.
		We focused our study on the Kakanui River near Oamaru in Otago and the Waimea River and its tributary the Wairoa River (hereafter referred to as Wairoa) near Nelson in the Tasman District because they differ in both their rates of gravel extraction and their predicted rates of gravel supply.

		Rising on the slopes of Mount Ruapehu in Tongariro National Park as the Tongariro River, it flows north through Lake Taupo and, issuing from the lake's northeastern corner, tumbles over Huka Falls and flows northwest to enter the Tasman Sea south of Auckland.
		Eight power stations built on the river between Taupo and Karapiro are a major source of hydroelectric power.
		The river, whose name is Maori for "flowing water," was the scene of several skirmishes between the British and the Waikato tribes in 1863-65.

		Big River, a full-service telecommunications provider serving the midwestern United States, chose Tasman routers for their ability to handle the capacity of converged services simultaneously, with uncompromising performance as well as their affordability and scalability.
		Tasman's routers also enable Big River's customers to migrate from incumbent carriers' platforms to the company's own network in the wake of last year's FCC ruling that phases out, over a year, all competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) leasing of incumbent carriers' local switching.

	Recent development of braided Tasman River (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		However, we also find parts and periods within braided river systems where downcutting is the most prominent process.
		At the upper Tasman River, for example, steep ridges and newly abandoned dry channels meters above the recent water level demonstrate such incision.
		This downcutting has been caused by the shift of the Murchison River, which has broken through the lateral moraine in 1994 due to a land-slide and changed the local hydrological system.

	Third World Centre for Water Management
		The Motueka River itself is internationally known as a trout fishery and reaches of the river are an important habitat for native and threatened Galaxiid fish.
		Tasman Bay, which receives 65% of its freshwater inflow from the Motueka River, is a commercially important scallop and mussel fishery, contains a nationally important marine sanctuary, and is widely used as a recreational resource.
		Within the international San Pedro River Basin, disparities between Mexico and the USA regarding economic development and political orientation, combined with a highly variable and complex physical setting, suggest that the successful engagement of scientists with communities and stakeholders will be essential for addressing challenges in water management.

	NZRCA: Extract from G E Mannering "With axe and rope in the New Zealand Alps"
		On 13th December 1889 Mannering and Dixon left the Hermitage at Mt Cook and embarked on their 140 mile [225km] kayak trip down the Tasman River, across Lake Pukaki, down the Pukaki and Waitaki Rivers to the Waitaki Bridge.
		For half an hour we considered the situation, finally determining to shoot the rapid, there was really only about 8' or 10' of safe water close to the point of the groyne of rocks and this was right in the body of the current.
		For most part the river makes a succession of bends bordered by rocky cliffs on either hand, now and then masses or rock crops up through the water, against which the stream is banked up by the force of its mad career to a height of 10 or 12 ft [3m].
