Drilled and screened wells installed specifically for monitoring purposes recorded significantly lower numbers of E.coli detections and MAV page exceedances in comparison to dug and/or unlined wells. These results are indicative of differing E.coli transport pathways by well

However, we cannot allow complications and difficulties to overwhelm and paralyse us. We must work together on the things that will make the greatest difference. There cannot be a one-size-fits-all solution. Threats vary and require different interventions depending on situation, location and context. However, a core message here
Consultation has identified further potential to develop a key identity and marketing opportunity for the region itself as the ‘Taranaki Garden’ or ‘Taranaki Experience’. The Taranaki Garden/Experience concept links the three gardens to the greater Taranaki natural and cultural environments that make the region unique within New Zealand. The environments include the many parks, walkways, rivers, lakes, mountain and coastal, urban and rural resources that offer broad conservation, education and

Effects may arise in relation to: (a) the neighbourhood or the wider community around an activity, and may include cultural and social-economic effects; (b) physical effects on the locality, including landscape, amenity and visual effects; (c) ecosystems, including effects on plants, animals, or habitats,
