New Zealand (2018 census)
Te Anga is a rural community in the Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.[1]
Marokopa River runs through the area. The river is not safe to swim in due to high rates of E. coli,[2] but farmers have put in plans to reduce water pollution.[3]
The area transitioned from sheep farming to more intensive dairy farming at the turn of the century.[3]
The local landscape consists of limestones, calcareous mudstones and sandstones, with small areas of basal conglomerates and coal measures.[4]
Te Anga is in meshblocks 1018799, 1019601 and 4002699, which had a population of 129 people in the 2018 census.[5]
Marokopa Falls and Mangapohue Natural Bridge are close to Te Anga.
