illustrated in Figure 4, the
vast majority of pasture irrigation in Taranaki does take place within Zones 2, 3, 4 and 5, which represents a
10 km wide belt of coastal land stretching from Oakura to Waitotara.
1.1.7 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The majority of irrigation
systems currently in operation in the region fall in to the pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be
further differentiated based on the method of

current value of the asset is readily obtainable and significant. Significant donated assets for which
current values are not readily obtainable are not recognised. For an asset to be sold, the asset is
impaired if the market price for an equivalent asset falls below its carrying amount. For an asset to
be used by the Trust, the asset is impaired if the value to the Trust in using the asset falls below the
carrying amount of the asset.

and soft-sedimentary, volcanic acidic and volcanic basic geology. All sites that do not fall in these categories are in the default
class.
Further, as the maximum amount of periphyton biomass is affected by the amount of nutrients in the water
column, the NPS-FM also requires councils to set appropriate in-stream concentrations and exceedance
criteria for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) to regulate periphyton
biomass growth

Water quantity and allocation
Taranaki gets a lot of rain and it’s difficult to imagine the
region ever running out of water.
However, there is growing demand for water from large-scale
petrochemical, dairy and meat processing operations, as well
as from agriculture for pasture irrigation. So we must pay
careful attention to how water is allocated, particularly during
drier periods and droughts, when water

The Esk Road septic wastes unloading facility was also inspected. This area was found to be in a satisfactory
condition with no odour or unauthorised waste disposal issues noted.

An inspection was conducted in overcast, showery weather with a westerly wind. The monthly rainfall was
287 mm rain as recorded at the Stratford TRC weather station.

Site-based baseline states identified for total phosphorus are presented in Figure 3. For four lakes (Lake
Rotokawau (NHC), Barret Lagoon (VRP), Lake Kaikura (CT) and Lake Herengawe (CT)), band C applies, while
two lakes (Lake Rotokare (SHC) and Lake Waikare (SHC)) fall within band D.
