Questions, answered briefly

How long is Awatea Stream?

1.1 km as mapped, 9 ways in the open map, crossing 2 suburbs.

Which suburbs does Awatea Stream pass through?

Hornby, Wigram.

Is the line on the map the whole waterway?

It’s the centreline, the middle of the water as mapped on OpenStreetMap, not its banks. A line says where it runs, not how wide it is or whether it carries water today.

The record behind this

The line is OpenStreetMap’s, every named way tagged river, stream, drain or canal inside the city boundary, merged by name (ODbL). A line says where a waterway runs, not how wide it is; the live gauges are instruments, kept on /rivers.
