These monitoring stations are located in the KaiparaHarbour at Pouto Point, Whangaroa Harbour at Whangaroa Wharf, VeronicaChannel at Opua and Whangarei Harbour at Marsden Point.It was estimated that a tsunami wave generated from the earthquake would reachNew Zealand in six hours, travelling a distance of 3400km at 567 km/hr.The graph below shows consequential responses in groundwater levels in the Maunuaquifer, Whangarei and the Marsden Point tidal levels (samples recorded at MarsdenPoint every one minute interval).-10.8307-10.833423852330-10.83842225-10.84342119-10.84842014-10.85341909-10.85841804-10.86341699-10.86841594-10.87341489-10.87841384-10.8834-10.8884Maunu Aquifer ResponseEarthquake struck at 0548 NZSTMarsden Point - Tsunamiarrival time – Northland Coastat 1200 NZST12791174-10.89341069-10.898430-Sep-2009 06:00 30-Sep-2009 12:00 30-Sep-2009 18:0030-Sep-2009 00:47:16 to 1-Oct-2009 00:19:02Groundwater Level (m) at Puriri Park at MaunuStage (mm) at Whangarei Harbour at Marsden Point964
