The people and economy of Canterbury have more to lose from serious river flooding than anywhere else in New Zealand, a new report reveals.

Cantabrians' lives and their homes are particularly at risk, with about 188,000 people - about 148,000 of those within Christchurch City - exposed to raging rivers in a flood hazard area calculated and drawn by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) for the study.

Nearly 110,000 Canterbury homes have been placed by Niwa in the flood hazard area, with an estimated replacement value of $34 billion (based on 2016 figures).
