stock access to streams as a probable primary contributor to these elevated numbers although the cumulative impacts of consented dairy pond discharges also contribute, particularly under lower flow conditions]. Water temperatures varied over a moderate range of 7.8°C with a maximum (mid-morning) temperature of 17.4°C in February 2014 during a period of very low flow conditions. Dissolved oxygen saturation did not fall below 88% during the period, with this minimum recorded under a period of
Company. Through an automated water level sensor system, the Company can monitor the residual flows in the Manganui River and Mangaotea Stream, water levels in the race and lake and how much rain is falling locally. This has allowed the Company to manage race flows to minimise flooding, and has greatly improved the Company’s compliance with residual flow requirements. 1.3 Resource consents The Company holds 23 resource consents, the details of which are summarised in the table below.

way that reflects the level of risk the subject activity (risk-based approach) may pose to the environment and/or the wider community and given the relatively robust basis for cost recovery of consent monitoring, there is no good reason why councils should fall significantly short of fulfilling this expectation. For some, resourcing may simply be inadequate for the task, which places undue stress on staff and management and should be addressed at a council level.
surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation systems currently in operation in the province fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be further differentiated based on the method of operation and equipment used. A summary of the systems encountered in the region and some of their advantages and disadvantages are summarised below: K-line and long-lateral types – Impact sprinklers mounted on moveable laterals (Photograph 1).
