1.1.7 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; 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 is given below.
K-line and long-lateral types – Impact sprinklers

STDC Waverley-Kaponga-Manaia-Patea oxidation ponds consent monitoring report - Taranaki Regional Council.
An inspection was undertaken in calm, wet weather with light rain showers. Yard maintenance was required
in the form of sweeping, however there was no evidence of spills. The plant was not operating at the time
and no discharges to air were occurring. No odours were noted and ambient dust readings were within
allowable limits. The emissions stack testing had not yet been undertaken.
Overall, the site was compliant at the time of inspection.
Results of receiving environment monitoring
2017/2018 year. However, we had not expected such a
dramatic increase in visitor numbers, which were up by 285%
for the year as a whole.
The new centre gives our world-class garden a world-class
visitor experience. It gives people an opportunity to visit
regardless of the weather and time of year, and experience
the wonderful gardens out of the rain and under a roof, and
to take in the stories of Pukeiti.

reflect that rainfall at the coast is richer in chloride and
sodium, compared to rainfall that falls inland. Nearly two thirds of GQMP sites plot
below the SWDL, suggesting that much of the region’s groundwater is enriched with
sodium from rock/water interactions with sodium rich source rocks.

has been little change in groundwater nitrate levels over the last five years. There is
