the survey are displayed in Table 7. There was a low rate of discharge from the ponds system (estimated at
approximately 1.5 L/s) at the time of the survey. The river flow was gauged at 0.42 m3/s upstream of the
discharge. The flow of 0.75 m3/s recorded in the lower reaches of the river (TRC Glenn Road recorder) was
well below the average February mean monthly flow (1.57 m3/s) and only slightly above the minimum
February mean monthly flow (0.68 m3/s) for the period 1978 to 2019.
