observed magnitude of these seasonal changes varies
considerably by site, ranging from a few millimetres up to several metres. The magnitude of observed
changes is influenced by rainfall patterns, bore depth, aquifer type (confined or unconfined) and
hydraulic properties, the overlying land cover, and proximity to a stable surface water boundary or
groundwater discharge area (e.g. river or sea).
Data collected over the last two years of monitoring at each site (2015-2017) has been
performance. Mechanical aeration of the primary pond (with
some aerators replaced and additional aerators installed) was successful in maintaining
aerobic conditions throughout the majority of the period although additional industrial
loadings at times placed the system under pressure in terms of maintaining positive
dissolved oxygen levels. Although slight localised pond odours were noted on occasions,
there were no noticeable odours offsite or complaints received during the monitoring year in
