over time for a number of parameters at the Taranaki sites and have rated them
relative to other New Zealand rivers (McBride, 1996, TRC, 2003 and TRC, 2009).
Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with
national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid

occurred at the site in the lower reaches of the Waingongoro River over time Trends

actions during the 2015-2016 year in relation to unauthorised sewage discharges. In addition,
relates to leachate discharges from the sludge lagoon to groundwater at the WWTP, whereby
have resulted in elevated levels of contaminants the surface water and groundwater were

and pleasingly, the number of sites showing improvement continues to be maintained at the
high levels of recent years, rather than begin to decrease as might generally be expected once
rates of improvement begin to flatten out.
