4.3 I reviewed rainfall records provided by the TRC for the automated
rainfall monitoring station Uruti @ Kaka Road1. Figure 1 below presents
the hourly rainfall totals two weeks prior to and on the day of my site
visit.

cyanobacteria were higher than in the previous
three seasons, and similar to the preceding two seasons, probably a reflection of the relative amounts of
rainfall causing freshes that scour streambeds of periphyton.

Timely reporting of the results of bacteriological water quality and cyanobacteria numbers/cover was
undertaken by use of the Taranaki Regional Council website (www.trc.govt.nz) and LAWA website
(www.lawa.org.nz), as well as liaison with territorial local
plan, prepare and adapt to a changing climate
in Taranaki.
In considering weather and climate we are mainly interested
in sunshine, rain, wind and temperature data. This helps
guide decision-making around growing seasons, flood
management, fishing, swimming and surf conditions. River
flows are influenced by rainfall and temperature and tell us
how dry or wet a summer is. River flow measurements can
help us ensure water use is managed in a way that protects
increasingly popular as storage system, which is easy to install, reduces odour and no
rainfall into the tank means you can considerably reduce the amount of storage needed, an option to consider
in high rain fall areas.
Typically, farm dairy effluent is directed to a sand trap then tank with pump system, effluent is then applied
directly to land or to the bladder.
The Bladder will have a return valve, effluent is gravity feed from the bladder back to the tank, were it is then
applied to land
moderate temperatures and regular rainfall, but when the rainfall is heavy it can
cause flooding and landslips. In periods of low rainfall, the region can experience droughts. In some parts
of the region, and at certain times of the year, storms and tornadoes are a reasonably frequent occurrence.
Coastal erosion
Coastal erosion is the retreat of the shoreline caused by water currents, waves, and wind. It is a natural
process that can be influenced by human activity. The Taranaki coastline
2019-2020 monitoring year, with most
commencing irrigation in late October and concluding in March. Rainfall recorded at the Council’s
monitoring locations over the summer irrigation period ranged between 85% and 114% of historical mean
values. Total usage during the 2019-2020 irrigation season, across all exercised irrigation consents was 8,835
ML. This was more than that used during the preceding 2018-2019 monitoring year, when 56 irrigation
consents were exercised, and a total usage of 6,906 ML. …
