	Rotorua New Zealand - Whakarewarewa
		Whakarewarewa is the reduced version of "Te Whakarewarewatanga - o - te - Ope - a - Waihiao", meaning "the uprising of the war party at Waihiao".
		Whakarewarewa is approximately 3 kilometres from Rotorua, near the banks of the Puarenga river.
		Whakarewarewa is often visited for its 500 or so hot springs, many of which are encased in what are called "sinter" pools - a porous encrustation of silica or mineral deposit, which seems to take on different hues (but which are generally white or gray).

	Whakarewarewa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whakarewarewa is a geothermal area within Rotorua city in the Taupo Volcanic Zone of New Zealand.
		Papakura Geyser is the other notable dormant geyser at Whakarewarewa, last erupting in March 1979 after a 90 year period during which it was known to have faltered very briefly only three times.
		The cessation of eruptions from Papakura was directly responsible for initating the Rotorua Monitoring Programme in 1981.

	Rotorua, New Zealand - Maori Culture, Whakarewarewa, Ohinemutu & Ngati Wahiao
		The village of Whakarewarewa is one of Rotorua's most active thermal areas and is home to the Pohutu geyser famed throughout the world for her playing, erupting about 20 times a day.
		Whakarewarewa is home to the Tuhourangi/Ngati Wahiao people who settled there after the Tarawera eruption destroyed their homes at Te Wairoa.

	NOMINATION OF E
		Of the 130 significant geysers known to be active in 1950, fewer than 15 (mostly at Whakarewarewa) are still erupting today.
		Among other projects, Lloyd was responsible for detailed mapping of the Waiotapu, Orakeikorako, and Whakarewarewa geothermal fields, including measurements of spring flow, geyser activity, water geochemistry, and documentation of historic records (Lloyd 1956, 1972, 1975).
		Shortly afterwards, Lloyd successfully opposed two water-right application for deep bores immediately adjacent to the Whakarewarewa geyser field, and was able to demonstrate that the decline in geyser activity was due to extraction by household bores, and that further extraction would have disastrous effects of the remaining geysers.

	Preliminary Report on the Te Arawa Representative Geothermal Resource Claims (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Whakarewarewa claimants contend that the hot springs and other geothermal surface features at Whakarewarewa and the associated underground resource are and always have been a taonga of Tuhourangi and Ngati Wahiao.
		They state that, although parts of the surface features relating to the Rotorua geothermal field at Whakarewarewa are now in Crown ownership, the Tuhourangi and Ngati Wahiao arc landowners at Whakarewarewa and the geothermal resource there has remained central to their lifestyle and identity to the present day.
		The Whakarewarewa claimants note that they well understand that the geothermal field which manifests itself at Whakarewarewa is part of a larger interconnected field which appears at Ohinemutu and other parts of the Rotorua geothermal field.

	Whakarewarewa colours on Flickr - Photo Sharing!
		As the centre of New Zealand's geothermal activity, Rotorua has a myriad of spectacular landscapes and natural wonders to admire.
		Whakarewarewa, part nature reserve and part cultural heritage site, is not quite as impressive as I remember it being as a child (especially since the Pohutu Geyser is no longer accessible from there), but there are still some really interesting hot pools to wander around.
		Even more intriguing, the local Maori community cook food in these hot pools, with some reaching extraordinary temperatures.
