WAIKATO, wi'ka-to. A river of New Zealand. It rises in the centre of North Island, south of Lake Taupo, which it traverses, and after a northwesterly course of 140 miles flows into the Pacific Ocean on the west coast, by a wide estuary, passing Mercer and Havelock, which with Hamilton are the chief settlements on its banks (Map: New Zealand, E 3).
