ability to flush salt from pasture as one of the benefits of irrigation. However, not
enough is currently known about the frequency of such events or the impact on pasture
production to quantify the potential benefits in the financial analysis.
5.2 Pugging Potential
The potential for soil pugging under irrigation is a function of soil type, application
depth, application uniformity and stocking rates. Pugging risk is primarily a

during construction activities. The influence that aquifer properties
below 2 metres have on groundwater velocities is uncertain, in terms of over and/or under
estimating velocities. For the current groundwater velocity calculations, the aquifer properties were
estimated as ‘Silty Clay’, with an effective soil porosity of 0.01 or 1% to the base of the aquifer
(McWorter and Sunada 1977).
Well construction information is also limited but deemed critical to the analysis of slug test data,

brown mudfish, with North Island populations
now mainly found from Warea in Taranaki southwards, usually at elevations
lower than 240 metres. They tolerate a wide range of habitats including
peaty bogs, raupo swamps, lake margins, forest pools and streams.
A lot of the habitats that brown mudfish occupy dry out over summer,
forcing the fish to aestivate (summer hibernation). During summer mudfish
bury themselves deep in mud or under logs, making sure their refuge is

to help with the garden at this time.
There will be a list at the AGM for members
present to fill in. Otherwise if you could ring or
e-mail Heather with the times you are available
to help it will save her from ringing you.
