flows and levels must be set as rules in plans. A flow can be considered the quantity, variability, flow, duration
and timing of flows or water levels to give effect to Te Mana o te Wai, the long-term visions and outcomes

Riemenschneider lived amongst Ngāti Moeahu and established a mission station a little further inland.

& Wright 1984), of which ship rats, stoats and possums are the most significant predators in the
mainland forests of New Zealand (Innes et al. 2010). Tennyson
