		The Northern Wairoa's greatest asset in the late 1800's and early 1900's was undoubtedly the river.
		The wharf situated on the Northern Wairoa River at the town of Dargaville was completed in 1907 by Messrs J H Anderson and Sons, and was Dargaville's vital link with the rest of New Zealand.
		It was clearly the principal wharf on the river.

	Making concrete: ecological implications of gravel extraction in New Zealand rivers - NIWA Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		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.
		The Kakanui River catchment is less steep, has lower annual runoff, and less hydrological variability (see table below); so we would expect the amount of gravel supplied to the coastal floodplain where gravel is harvested to be smaller than for the Wairoa River.

	Tasman District Council > Water Report - 30 March 2006
		The flows today around the district are, the Wairoa River is flowing at 1.6 cumecs, the Motueka River above the Motueka Township is 11.7 cumecs, Buller River 17 cumecs, Anatoki River 2.6 cumecs, Takaka River at Kotinga 3.8 cumecs and the Aorere 12.3 cumecs.
		The minor rain caused the Wairoa River to rise briefly to 2.3 cumecs but this has rapidly receded and the river today is at 1.6 cumecs.
		Based on the current low river flows and groundwater levels and salinity monitoring data the Council is increasing the level of restrictions on the unconfined aquifer zones to stage 2 and maintaining rationing in the Lower Confined Aquifer at stage one for next week.
