events in the headwaters.
The most improvement in long term water quality has been illustrated in the Waingongoro River at SH 45,
with significantly improving trends in DRP and total phosphorus, and with reduction in nitrate and total
nitrogen by slightly less than the rate defined as significant. This improvement has been coincident with
land-irrigation of a major industrial (meatworks) discharge since 2001 and the diversion of Eltham’s WWTP
discharge out of the river since 2010.
Significant deteriorations in black disc clarity were recorded at two sites, one of which
reflected historical erosion events in the headwaters.

other freshwater values, such as ecosystem
health.
Under the NPS-FM, water use is managed
by setting environmental flows and levels,
taking into account any changes that are
likely to occur as a result of climate change.
Limits can then be set on the rate and

1.3.2 Water abstraction permit (groundwater)
Section 14 of the Act stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any
water, unless the activity is expressly allowed for by resource consent or a rule in a
regional plan, or it falls within some particular categories set out in Section 14.
The Council determined that the application to take groundwater fell within Rule 49
of the Regional Freshwater Plan for Taranaki (RFWP) as the rate and daily volume of
