Abstract

The Wairoa River, a barrier enclosed estuary situated in Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand was modelled using a one-dimensional hydrodynamic model. Water level data obtained during a flood and a bathymetric survey were available but the entrance cross-section had not been surveyed. This paper describes the calibration of the model to jointly optimise the selection of the Manning coefficient and the depth of the estuary entrance.
