nitrogen species levels were lower at up to six sites, while median ammonia nitrogen levels
were higher at four sites and lower at two sites.
The report also provides an assessment of each site’s statistical water quality in terms of
appropriate guidelines and standards for various usages based upon a summary of the
record for the complete 1995-2013 period.

Corbett Road and Punehu Stream at SH45). Significant deteriorations in black disc clarity
were recorded at three sites, two of which reflected historical erosion events in the
headwaters.
The most improvement in long term water quality has been illustrated in the Waingongoro
River at SH 45, with significantly improving trends in DRP and total phosphorus, and with
reduction in nitrate and total nitrogen by slightly less than the rate defined as significant.
