 | Two main river systems dominate the Waimea Plains, lying between the Kahurangi National Park to the west, the Richmond Range to the east and the Nelson Lakes National Park to the south: these are the Motueka and Waimea rivers which flow gently across alluvial farm and orchard land. |
| This district stretches from the Heaphy River in the north to the Cascade River in the south. |
| This large and varied district stretches from the Waiau River in the north-east to the Rakaia River in the south-east; from Lewis Pass in the north-west to Arthurs Pass and the Rakaia headwaters in the south-west. |
| NZRCA: Paddling flooded rivers (1666 words) |
| As the river floods, water flows in places that only rarely see water, where rocks are sharp, not worn smooth, where trees grow, banks don't follow a natural water worn shape, and the power and energy of the water increases faster than most people appreciate. |
| The Buller, a very big river, which is fed at this gauge point by Nelson Lakes National Park, rises slowly from 40 cumecs to 90 cumecs, and then slowly drops away until the next front arrives. |
| The Aorere, which has a smaller catchment in the western ranges of Nelson, rises from its normal 12+ cumecs to 750 cumecs, which is quite a flood in this river. |
