be expected, and is
an appropriate target to be pursued. However, it should be noted that even with MfE’s overly
optimistic analysis, we will fall well short of what is required as a national average under the
NPS-FM. This is despite the fact that through the Taranaki Riparian Management Programme
the region is investing and doing far more than the NPS-FM requires and doing more than
many other regions in New Zealand.
Since 1995, the percentage of Taranaki’s ring plain streams fenced has

that has been taught to school
children for many years, and will continue to be
promoted around the country. The simple advice is:
If you are inside a building, move no more than few steps, then Drop, Cover and Hold to protect
yourself from falling objects. Stay indoors until the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit.
In most buildings in New Zealand, you are safer to stay where you are until the shaking stops. It
would be a good idea if teachers help students
for water users.
The number of days with total restriction depends on the minimum flow, as generally no take is
allowed once the river flow falls below the minimum flow. Allocation affects the number of days
there is likely to be partial restrictions with a 10% increase in allocation increasing the number of
days per year with partial restriction by about 10 days.
Minimum flow and allocation options in Table 1 are based on maintaining ecosystem health at a
prescribed level. In assessing

ecosystem health however, as this measurement is an ‘average’, flows do naturally fall below MALF during
prolonged periods of dry weather or drought.
Estimations of MALF are made using long term flow records but, if no records are available, it can also be
estimated using records from hydrologically similar streams. When developing estimates of MALF, flow
records are first ‘naturalised’. Primarily this involves removing the
