The Cam River / Ruataniwha is a small river flowing through the Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. It serves as a tributary to the Kaiapoi River, which itself flows into the Waimakariri River system. The river's character is significantly influenced by spring-fed flows it receives from the North, Middle, and South Brooks before it joins the Kaiapoi. This spring influence contributes to its ecology and supports a modest but notable fishery.
