the Taranaki Regional Council at four regional monitoring sites located in New Plymouth- CBD, New Plymouth- busy traffic intersection, Tariki- pristine farmland and in Stratford Township.

page Introduction The Stream Health Measurement Assessment Kit (SHMAK) kit has been modified for use by secondary school groups within the Taranaki region.

So we must pay careful attention to how water is allocated, particularly during drier periods and droughts, when water
page Introduction Riparian margins are the strips of land that run either side of rivers and streams.
