Pools_of_the_Tongariro_River
Uniquely among New Zealand rivers, the various pools and widenings of the Tongariro River and its marshy delta have been given specific names which are recognised as official by Land Information New Zealand (LINZ). The river, the main waterway of the Waikato River system above Lake Taupō in the central North Island, has over 40 named pools, the majority of which are close to the town of Tūrangi, at or immediately above the river's delta.
