The majority of irrigation systems currently in operation in the province fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be further differentiated
it can be developed. Until such time, land within this zone may be used for a range of agricultural, pastoral and horticultural activities, but other types of activities are to be managed and/or avoided to ensure the activities occurring within the zone are compatible with and do not compromise potential future urban uses. In the notified PDP, free-range poultry farming falls under the definition of rural page 3 industry (see the definition nesting
than the concentration of the backwash discharge A B C page 10 sample, the concentration of total chlorine in the shoreline sample was slightly above the consent limit of 0.1 g/m3 (Table 2). However, it is possible that the actual value for total chlorine did in fact fall below the consent limit as the repeatability of the chlorine meter used is ± 0.05 g/m3; this result therefore provided insufficient evidence for non-compliance with condition 4 of consent 2339-4.0.
roles in stream ecosystems on top of their intrinsic biodiversity value. They convert primary energy inputs to streams, from leaves that fall in and algae and bacteria growing on the streambed in response to light and ‘catchment tea’ (dissolved carbon from soils), into food for fish such as whitebait, eels and trout, and birds. In the process they keep the streambed clean and recycle nutrients, keeping the stream healthy and productive. Q&A page www.niwa.co.nz Water & Atmosphere

Dairying is the predominate land use in this unit, which also includes New Plymouth and other urban areas. Waterways in these short, steep and relatively small catchments rise and fall rapidly in response to rainfall. The catchments are small and subject to relatively high consumption and waste discharge pressures, especially compared with those in the eastern hillcountry. Unit C – waterways on the northern and southern coastal terraces Land in this unit is
way that reflects the level of risk the subject activity (risk-based approach) may pose to the environment and/or the wider community and given the relatively robust basis for cost recovery of consent monitoring, there is no good reason why councils should fall significantly short of fulfilling this expectation. For some, resourcing may simply be inadequate for the task, which places undue stress on staff and management and should be addressed at a council level.
