Led by the Minister for Land Information, this $7.5 million initiative aims to minimise the high risk of major pest and weed outbreaks in many iconic lakes, rivers and lands stewarded by the Crown. This will be done by providing for the acceleration and enhancement of existing biosecurity programmes, and prioritisation of key sites.

Poorer bacteriological water quality under higher river flow conditions following wet weather periods were not further impacted by the discharges from the Patea system during spring and early winter.

the season. Seven of these sites had counts which entered the ‘Action’ mode, a slight increase in the number and frequency of guideline exceedances in comparison with many previous seasons’ results and coincidentally these page were more frequent during the extremely low flow conditions experienced in the latter half of the season. To a certain extent these exceedances were probably a feature common to the mid and lower reaches of rivers and streams draining developed
pastoral farming, with over 60% of the total land area of the region in grassland or crops. A little under 40% of the land area is covered by indigenous or exotic forest in either private or public ownership. Approximately 0.5% of the land area is covered by urban areas, rivers and lakes. Overall, our region is blessed with few significant problems associated with our soil resource. Pressures associated with land uses on erosion-prone land are principally confined to the hill country, but even

wastewater discharge continued to confirm significant improvements in the biological ‘health’ of the Mangawhero Stream and further downstream in the mid-reaches of the Waingongoro River. Aspects of biological water quality ‘health’ under low flow conditions were much improved compared with pre-wastes diversion monitoring periods, through the Mangawhero Stream and extending into the Waingongoro River downstream of their confluence. The state of the environment longer term (seventeen- year) trends of
