Chloride (Cl)
Chloride is relatively unaffected by geochemical processes which makes it a good indicator of general
groundwater quality. The primary source of chloride in groundwater is marine sourced rainfall recharge to
an aquifer. However, saltwater intrusion and land use activities, such as wastewater and effluent
discharges, can contribute chloride to …

Climate change is expected to exacerbate soil loss and present challenges to the future
management of erosion-prone land. It is estimated that extreme storm events resulting in
flooding and slips are likely to occur somewhere in Taranaki about once every five to six
years. In coming years, the region is expected to experience more frequent and intense
heavy rainfall events, increasing both the frequency and
