Rivers and Catchments Monitoring
How do you monitor rivers and catchments to protect fresh water environments and water supply?Tracking and tracing nutrients and contamination in catchments helps protect fresh water supply quality.
Catchment groups, individual farmers, businesses, Regional Councils, Iwis and local communities are all facing similar issues when it comes to the improvement and management of New Zealand’s freshwater quality; the ability to accurately monitor freshwater catchment areas including ponds, rivers, tributaries and surrounding water bodies through the tracking and tracing of nutrients in freshwater attribute levels. Understanding on a deeper level the local weather conditions, including rain run-off, and soil penetration is key in developing a better understanding of the health and happenings of the catchment ecosystem.

What is Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring involves using tools to continuously observe and record metrics about the environment so that incremental changes over time can be accurately quantified. Using sensors and observations, results can be gathered, analysed, and then published allowing stakeholders including consumers, workers, communities, organisations and governments to make decisions to better manage the impact they have on the environment and the associated risks.
