relation to best practice irrigation onto high and low risk soils. 1.6 Application Depth The volume of water applied during irrigation is referred to as the application depth. Farmers will make reference to the amount of rain in their rain gauge in mm. For example, there was 4 mm of rainfall yesterday. This relates to the formula 1mm of rain falling on 1 ha equals 10,000 litres. Using the example of 4mm of rainfall, this would equate to 40,000 litres of rain falling on each ha of land.
2.3 Mr B Pope, Compliance Manager, in response to the question regarding Clark Peters Farms Limited, advised that every dairy effluent discharge application is assessed on a case by case basis and there are a number of environmental factors that are looked at including land area, land size, and rainfall in the area. 2.4 Mr K Holswich, Iwi Representative, noted that the reporting provided by officers in relation to consent applications are appreciated, it is very useful for hapū
1 Minimum requirement, 4 hectares per 100 cows, which is designed to ensure nitrogen in the discharge does not exceed 200 kg/ha/year. Note: Council expectation is that all consents issued will require an exclusive discharge to land and full storage. Dual discharges may be allowed, if the dairy farm is in a high rainfall area and provision of adequate storage is impractical. The discharge of treated farm dairy effluent to surface water may be authorised as a contingency, when land

at the same four sites (Waingongoro River at Ohawe, Kaupokonui River at the mouth, and Waiwhakaiho River at the last riffle and at Merrilands Domain) on a total of 13 surveys. Levels of cyanobacteria were higher than in the previous two seasons, but lower than the preceding two seasons, probably a reflection of the relative amounts of rainfall causing freshes that scour streambeds of periphyton. Timely reporting of the results of bacteriological water quality and
plan, prepare and adapt to a changing climate in Taranaki. In considering weather and climate we are mainly interested in sunshine, rain, wind and temperature data. This helps guide decision-making around growing seasons, flood management, fishing, swimming and surf conditions. River flows are influenced by rainfall and temperature and tell us how dry or wet a summer is. River flow measurements can help us ensure water use is managed in a way that protects
such as the Tongaporutu, Waitara and Patea rivers, and the confines of Port Taranaki. The Taranaki region has a temperate climate with generally abundant rainfall. The incised nature of ring plain streams means that flooding is not a major problem. However, occasional intense rainfall events can lead to rapid rises in river levels and flooding in hill country valleys and elsewhere. Our people UPDATE Figures from the 2018 census show Taranaki’s total population stands at

potassium, sulphur, calcium, magnesium and sodium. This report focuses on the nitrogen loading and losses from the site. Nitrogen enters the Irrigation Area through the irrigated liquid, rainfall and clover fixation. Nitrogen leaves the Irrigation Area by being leached below the root zone, by volatilisation and denitrification to the atmosphere and in the harvested pasture in the form of baleage. Nitrogen moves between the organic and inorganic pools within the soil. Generally, nitrogen in
