In 2001 a Water Conservation Order was placed on the river to recognise the value of it in an unmodified state. An application was made by Majac Trust to change the Order so that a hydroelectric electricity scheme could be constructed on the river. This was rejected by the Environment Court in August 2007.[1]

In August 2014, the name of the river was officially altered to Te Kauparenui / Gowan River.[2]
