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 amount of water

Highway 45).
Using data collected in the NWQN since 1989, NIWA scientists have analysed trends
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).
