vulnerability of smaller streams to the impacts of water takes, and how well the modelling carried was able
to quantify these impacts given the data was primarily collected from what they considered were large rivers.

a spear.
However, the Reed dictionary prefers a literal translation of Wai: “river”, and taranga,
which it says is the long version of tara, and means “long steps”. It links the name to
