reality, the
invertebrate community at pristine sites includes a mix of
very sensitive and moderately tolerant types, meaning an
MCI score is rarely above 150.
What do MCI measurements tell us about
New Zealand’s water quality?
Recent NIWA and regional council studies using the MCI
show water quality in urban streams is typically ‘poor’
(median less than 80). Water in pastoral and exotic forests is
typically good (median 100–110), while water in natural bush
is ‘excellent’ (median 120).
