The Nahoata ( French la Nahoata , Tahitian without gender, originally Nohoata , "the water that lives in the clouds") is a river in the north of the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia .
geography
The river has its source in the center of the island in a gorge on the north side of Mont Orohena (Pirae) and flows to the northwest. In the mountains it receives an inflow from several small tributaries from the left and east and enters the coastal plain at the Hippodrome of Pirae . It briefly forms the border between Pirae and Arue and turns east again after the avenue Ariipaea Pomare . East of Pointe Iriti , at Arahiri , it flows into the Pacific (Taunoa) after the Avenue Charles de Gaulle has crossed it.
