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 8.7°C with a
maximum (mid-morning) temperature of 16.8°C in January 2012 during moderately
low flow conditions at that time. Dissolved oxygen saturation did not fall below 93%
during the period.

Fonterra Limited holds water permit 0302-3 to take and use up to 19,500 m³/day (225

TBP holds water permit 2051-4 to cover the abstraction of up to 50 L/s of water from the Inaha Stream for a
rendering operation. This permit was issued by the Council on 31 May 1999 under Section 87(d) of the RMA.

needed to maintain a catchment’s natural character and
ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during
prolonged periods of dry weather or drought.
Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be
estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow
records are first ‘naturalised’. Primarily this involves removing the

Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.
