<strong>2.</strong>2 Hydrological Assessment<br />

<strong>2.</strong><strong>2.</strong>1 Catchments<br />

The Papamoa Hills area is the major <strong>catchment</strong> contributing to the <strong>Mangatawa</strong> Drain runoff; see<br />

Appendix A <strong>for</strong> the illustration of the <strong>catchment</strong> boundaries. The southern rural <strong>catchment</strong>s flow<br />

directly into the drain and thence without treatment into the harbour, at Rangataua Bay. The<br />

northern (urban) <strong>catchment</strong> drains into the Maranui swale and is treated in the Maranui Pond be<strong>for</strong>e<br />

also discharging to Rangataua Bay. The current SH2 runoff is partly to the <strong>Mangatawa</strong> drain, and<br />

partly to the Maranui swale. For the proposed TEM this will change, with both the southern and<br />

northern carriageway draining into the Maranui swale and being treated in the Maranui Pond.<br />

The following table summarise the <strong>catchment</strong>s and the pervious and impervious areas.<br />

This does not include the MPBI land to the south west, which does not directly affect the principal<br />

flood management works addressed in this report.<br />

<strong>2.</strong>3 Rainfall<br />

The TCC design rainfall estimates based on 2055 projected climate change 3 were used. Temporal<br />

patterns from that report were used to develop hydrographs that were included in the hydraulic<br />

model software. The 6 hour <strong>storm</strong> was used by Beca as it was identified in the initial work as<br />

producing the highest flow rate <strong>for</strong> the central <strong>catchment</strong> (P1) of Papamoa Hills. For the Maranui<br />

<strong>catchment</strong> the 5 hour <strong>storm</strong> produced the critical <strong>storm</strong>. The following table summarises the input<br />

data used in the model work <strong>for</strong> the <strong>catchment</strong>s.<br />
