I asked the town office about an annual water consumption in Kaikoura.
* Population of Kaikoura Town---2760 people ---->121 cubic meter / a person / a year
* Houses in Kaikoura Town-------970 houses ---->344 cubic meter / a house / a year
* Domestic use in Kaikoura------------------>333,975 cubic meter / a year
* Total use for Kaikoura Town--------------->949,000 cubic meter / a year
* Number of Visiter---1 million people / a year
* Visiter use in Kaikoura-------------------->91,250 cubic meter / a year
The Waimangarara River is the water source of Kaikoura Town. "Wai" means water in Maori. The Maori people must have used the water of the river in the old days.
