The longest river in New Zealand is the Waikato River (425km).

Other notable rivers include the Clutha River, which has the largest volume. The Rakaia River is crossed by the longest bridge (1.75km). The Whanganui River is popular for kayak tours. The Shotover River near Queenstown is home to the famous Shotover Jetboat rides.

The Manawatu River is renowned for being one of the most polluted rivers in the western world. Industrial waste, treated sewage, and, most particularly, nutrient land runoff from dairy farms are the causes.
