Pirongia forest stream

Pirongia forest stream, New Zealand.

Several streams have their origins on the slopes of Pirongia Mountain. Each stream has its own water catchment area and feeds into larger water catchments in the Waikato region. This stream feeds into the Waipā River, which joins the Waikato River at Ngāruawāhia.
