Advocates for the Tongariro River – Feedback on 2023/24 Annual Works Programme
The Tongariro River Flood Protection Scheme was designed and constructed during 2004-2007. The intention of the scheme is to provide flood protection to Turangi to the design standard for floods in the Tongariro River up to a 1%AEP event. To ensure service level delivery the assets and works are monitored and surveyed and their performance assessed regularly. This study reassesses the service level based on review of the catchment hydrology, hydraulic modelling based on 2016 channel cross-sections, and comparison with 2014 asset crest survey data.
