Groundwater in Taranaki is generally stable, of relatively good quality and subject to low and manageable levels of demand from users. Taranaki has five principal aquifer systems, named after the geological formations where they occur: Matemateāonga Formation, Whenuakura Formation, Marine Terrace, Tāngāhoe Formation and Taranaki Volcanics. They are all regularly recharged thanks the region’s high rainfall. Water users favour rivers and streams over aquifers because of accessibility, cost and
highs. The maximum wind gust
