In order to deal with this potential problem, the Benjamini-Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) method was applied to the results of the Mann-Kendall test. Further justification for this statistical approach can be found in Stark and Fowles (2006). page 9 Figure 1 SEM beach bathing bacteriological survey sites page 10 4.

Since 2002 stock numbers have remained static, but there has been an increase in the use of supplementary feed. There has also been a large increase in productivity per cow (>20% gain). Stocking rate per ha has increased only 4% in the decade 2002-2012. The net effect of the historical expansion and intensification of dairying in the region is to increase the amount of nutrients, sediment, and animal effluent being applied to the land and dispersed into water bodies traversing the
Stocking rates have also increased. The increases in cow numbers, stocking rate and total area in dairy farming has generated greater volumes of farm dairy effluent requiring treatment or disposal. Since the adoption of the Freshwater Plan in 2001, there have been significant changes in community expectations relating to the maintenance and enhancement of 3 Ministry for the Environment, October 1999. 4 Dairy farming has

During the 2014-2015 year, Fonterra demonstrated a good level of environmental performance overall. Of the 21 consents for which compliance and environmental performance could be categorised, 1 (5%) was rated
