Effects of climate change and erosion mitigation on suspended sediment loads and visual clarity in the Wairoa catchment, Hawke’s Bay
The Wairoa River is significant to the iwi and hapū of Te Rohe o Te Wairoa. An important threat to the health of the river…
Journal Article
Development of a national-scale framework to characterise transfers of N, P and Escherichia coli from land to water
A hydrological framework encompassing nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and microbial (E. coli) transfer from land to water was developed to provide a consistent and rapid…

A case study of the role science played in the development of the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management
This project has produced
Method
Achieving unbiased predictions of national-scale groundwater redox conditions via data oversampling and statistical learning
An important policy consideration for integrated land and water management is to understand the spatial distribution of nitrate attenuation in the groundwater system, for which…
Journal Article
Determining the likelihood and cost of detecting reductions of nitrate‑nitrogen concentrations in groundwater across New Zealand
Nitrate‑nitrogen (NO3-N) is a contaminant of concern in groundwater worldwide. Stakeholders need information on the ability to detect changes in NO3-N concentrations to prove that land management…
Technical Report
Measuring real time nitrate leaching from a Hawkes Bay onion Field
The primary objective of this project was to prove that successful real time ‘in situ’ nitrate measuring was possible using a nitrate sensor and that…
