ABOUT
A comprehensive photographic and narrative record of the most remarkable and severe weather deluges, inundations, and civil defence emergency floods that have impacted New Zealand over the years since European settlement.
It explores how New Zealand's narrow, mountainous geography makes it structurally prone to massive rain dumps from active maritime weather systems. The chapters trace historic flood disasters across regions from both the North and South Islands, including the 1958 Te Kuiti flood, as well as major events in Southland, Otago, Christchurch, Wellington, and Westport.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
