Report: TR 2019/11

Authors: Noel Bates, Asaeli Tulagi

Abstract:

This report covers the calendar year of 2018 and follows the format of the previous data report (Tulagi, 2017).

This report is the 28th since the re-design of the Waikato River Monitoring Programme (WaRiMP) implemented in 1989.

The report provides information on routine monthly monitoring of water quality at 10 sites:

  • Year 2018 summary data tabulated by parameter for each location and reported with the median of the previous 5 years.
  • Key parameter graphs showing the average water quality for 2018 at each location, compared to results of the previous 5 years.
  • Summary tables identifying the number of samples meeting ‘satisfactory’ and ‘excellent’ water quality standards and guidelines.
  • Raw data for 2018.
  • Five-yearly pesticide survey at six sites.
