Pātea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the year is dry. Rain that does fall on the site drains away at a very rapid rate. The site does not suffer from flooding from rain or tidal action, due to its elevation. 1 The Council has used these compliance grading
The year began with Taranaki's second driest January ever, with none of our monitored sites getting even a third of their normal rainfall for the month. Totals ranged from 8% to 29% of normal, with an average of 17%, and our monitored sites recorded rain only on three to seven days during the month. Stratford recorded just 13.5mm, its lowest January total since records began in 1998. Our monitored sites on Taranaki Maunga recorded 17% to 23% of their normal Janary rainfall, with rain on five to
January was warmer than usual while rainfall for the month was just slightly above normal – but with some big differences across the region. Waitotara at Ngutuwera had 53% less rain than usual while Uruti at Kaka Rd had 39% more. The average rainfall for the region was 108.4mm, 2% more than usual. The average air temperature for the region (excluding Te Maunga sites) was 18.2°C, which is 0.6°C warmer than long-term January averages. The highest temperature was 30.3°C at Waitotara at Hawken Rd.

for municipal and rural water supply. Did you ever wonder why many rivers have water in them when it hasn’t rained for days or weeks, there’s no snow melting, and the ground is dry? The rivers are being filled up by water coming from out of the ground in the form of springs and seepages which brings us on to the topic of groundwater. Groundwater facts Groundwater is water which occurs in formations below the earth’s surface. In Taranaki we use 44,022m3 per day but recharge
were discharged to the site. 1.4.4 Chemical sampling Patea Beach is an elevated site which for most of the time is dry. Rain that does fall on the site drains away at a very rapid rate. The site does not suffer from flooding from rain or tidal action, due to its elevation. Monitoring over the past three years noted no discharge of leachate or liquids from the base of the dune as a result of the discharge. Therefore, no water quality samples were programmed or collected at the site
typical example. Water Rain: - raindrops falling on bare earth wash the soil away. The rain soaks into the soil making it heavier and causing it to sometimes slip away. Sea: -waves crash against the coast, grinding rocks into sand and cutting back the edge of the coast. Coastal drift carries the sand along the coast to calmer water where it builds beaches. Rivers: - the force of the flow cuts away at the banks of the river causing them to become undercut and fall

It is acknowledged that other site-specific considerations will also have to apply, such as: 1. the avoidance of conflict between air discharge points and neighbouring dwellings 2. land contours 3. orientation to the sun. (f) Discharge point design Dispersion of discharges is enhanced by:- increasing the height of discharge points; avoiding the use of conical rain shields over discharge stacks;
