includes three sites in Taranaki (Figure 1); one upper/mid catchment site (Manganui
River at State Highway 3, incorporating some farm land area) and two lower
catchment sites (Waitara River at Bertrand Road and Waingongoro River at State
Highway 45).
Using data collected in the NWQN since 1989, NIWA scientists have analysed trends

Water quality has been relatively stable at the Waitara River site compared with
national trends and, not surprisingly, water quality remains high at the upper/mid

20. New Plymouth is the dominant city in the region (with two-thirds of regional
population), with a network of rural service towns. Taranaki Region’s
population reached 124,600 people in 2020. Between 2000 and 2020 the
region’s population grew by 0.8% per annum, a lower rate than national
responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving sustainable development of the
region’s resources.

Environmental performance is concerned with actual or likely effects on the receiving

the following regional
councils: Auckland Regional Council, Environment Canterbury, Horizons, Northland,
Wellington, Otago, Hawkes Bay and Environment Waikato.
Several of these councils have key performance indicators (KPIs) that set targets for customer
satisfaction, e.g. ARC – ‘At least 75% of customers are satisfied with the resource consent
process’, Greater Wellington – ‘60% of recent applicants and existing consent holders rate
level of satisfaction as excellent or very good’.
Of

conditions occurred within the aquifer over this period. While the exact cause of this
change remains unclear, it may be related to changes in abstraction rates from the
bore over the corresponding period. The concentrations of all analytes had returned
to ‘typical’ values for this site by the end of the monitoring period.
The trends identified at shallow sampling sites appear to be driven by a wider range
of processes than those at deeper sites. At site GND0827, the
