mitigation) using a range of tools and results are available in map and tabular
displays.
In summary, this analysis has identified a number of key findings:
There are environmental (including climatic; hydrological; fresh water ecology; soil
characteristics) and on-farm practice differences between Taranaki and those areas of
New Zealand that are facing greatest pressure upon land use conversion, and that these
differences present a different context within which to consider

quality state. Secondly, lack of spatial representation arises from the limited spatial coverage of the existing
monitoring network. Each type of uncertainty is identified and assessed in the following sections.
Maps of the site-specific baseline attribute states for ammonia, nitrate, and DRP concentrations at each
state of environment monitoring site are presented in Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3, respectively.

irrigation and burial areas; water quality and biological monitoring in the Inaha Stream and its
tributaries; riparian management, and groundwater surveys, and facilitates community and
