Manganui River. Human error resulted in insufficient flow being released to the Manganui
River, and as a result an infringement notice was issued. Although the performance rating for
the relevant consent is ‘improvement required’ this improvement has already occurred with
improved communications and understanding of the staff and contractor involved.
This is a reflection of the consent holder’s improved systems, and thorough monitoring of a
highly complex scheme.

permit an increase from 7 cumecs to 10 cumecs, for the purposes of harvesting flood
flows in the river, was granted in April 2013. The re-lining work in the inlet tunnel
had increased its capacity to take water, but only when a fresh flow overtops the
intake weir. No changes to residual flow requirements were necessary but additional
conditions on the consent include:

continuity of the data record. There were only two occasions where such required flow rates
were not complied with. The first related to equipment failure, the second to a severe weather
event, and both were of extremely short duration (no more than 2 hours).
Water temperature differences appear to have reduced between natural flows and those in the
residual flow reach since the establishment of the 400 L/s residual flow limit. Over the
