摘要

Maori and Pakeha settlers arriving in New Zealand faced hydrological conditions that were beyond their experience in their Pacific island and European home countries. For settlers from the British Isles, the rugged terrain and variable weather were a complete contrast. Pakeha settlers in the Wellington region in the 1840s soon learned that the superficially attractive lowland areas adjacent to the Hutt River were in fact flood plains subject to periodic inundation. Similarly, early Canterbury residents had little understanding that the Waimakariri River naturally changed course in its lower reaches and would periodically flow through what is now much of urban Christchurch. As these rivers had few British parallels, efforts to control them tended to rely on European experience with rivers flowing from the Swiss Alps (Nelson, 1928).
