Waikato River

              Waikato River is the longest river in New Zealand, running for 425 kilometres through the North Island. It rises in the eastern slopes of Mount Ruapehu, joining the Tongariro River system and emptying into Lake Taupo, New Zealand's largest lake. It drains Taupo at the lake's northeastern edge, creates the Huka Falls, and then flows northwest, through the Waikato Plains. It empties into the Tasman Sea south of Auckland, at Port Waikato. 
              The main tributaries are: Waipakihi River, Tongariro River, Mangakino Stream, Waipapa River, Pokaiwhenua Stream, Waipa River, Whangamarino River, Mangatangi River, Mangatawhiri River, Awaroa River. It's crossing the following cities and towns: Turangi, Taupo, Wairakei, Atiamuri, Mangakino, Arapuni, Cambridge, Hamilton, Ngaruawahia, Huntly, Ohinewai, Meremere, Mercer, Tuakau, Port Waikato.
