The name of the river is Māori , and translates roughly as 'place where canoe must be poled' (a possible reference to the method needed to travel through the extensive wetlands, instead of the usual paddling). The Tokomairiro River is prone to seasonal flooding during the heavy rainfall months--August to October. Local industrial buildings have been forced to build high concrete walls around their property to reduce flood damage each year. |
