The instream habitat work done previously in the lower Waiaua River quantified the habitat at a flow of 31 l/sec,
compared with a MALF of 1319 l/sec. It is unlikely that an accurate assessment of habitat can be made by
extrapolating up from such a low flow rate.
As an alternative, the effects of the abstraction on habitat have been assessed using the model developed by
Ian Jowett for the Taranaki Regional Council as a part of the Regional Freshwater Plan review. The full discussion

Sea spurge infestations have caused
major environmental problems
at many Australian beaches by
displacing native plants and changing
natural patterns of sand movement.
