CONCEPT SHEET 6
Water quantity and allocation
Taranaki gets a lot of rain and it’s difficult to imagine the
region ever running out of water.
However, there is growing demand for water from large-scale
petrochemical, dairy and meat processing operations, as well
as from agriculture for pasture irrigation. So we must pay
careful attention to how water is allocated, particularly during
drier periods and droughts, when water
of beach (at low tide only),
any waters emerging from the cliff would be swiftly mixed and dispersed. Any effects on groundwater
quality or coastal water quality would be negligible. In general the creation of stable interlocked layers of
green waste ensures that it does not fall off or get blown off the cliffs and down onto the coastal marine
area or into the sea.
The effect of the sand movement from the lack of dune systems has seen the degradation in the land
available for farming on

a worrying time for many right now as case
numbers grow. Please, take care of each
other and reach out for help if you need it.
I’m confident the Council is well-prepared
and has plans in place to ensure the
continuation of essential services, while
keeping our staff and the community safe.
Finally, I’d like to acknowledge those

These records indicate that the treated effluent discharge into the Waiongana Stream was well managed on
all occasions with all discharging occurring when stream flow was above 5m3/s.
The Waiongana Stream hydrology displays a natural rapid rise and fall (typical of Taranaki ring plain
streams), which allows for a limited window of opportunity when treated wastewater can be discharged
above the minimum consent limit. The consent holder has access to the Council web site, which
upstream and downstream of the WWTP
discharge, which was also sampled.
The Esk Road septic wastes unloading facility was also inspected. This area was found to be in a satisfactory
condition with no odour or unauthorised waste disposal issues noted.
28 November 2016
An inspection was conducted in overcast, showery weather with a westerly wind. The monthly rainfall was
287 mm rain as recorded at the Stratford TRC weather station.
The step screen was operating and wastes were fully
establishment of vegetation, were stripped in heavy weather
in September 2015 (Figure 5).
Since this date, numerous attempts had been undertaken to re-establish the vegetation, however wind and
rain erosion had hindered the progress.
Figures 6 and 7 denote the follow up re-sown grass which was undertaken in May 2016. The re-sown grass
was blown out through wind and rain erosion throughout the 2016 winter. In February of 2017, the site was
revisited. The site management had undertaken additional
