The community summary should be regarded as summarised technical material. The purpose The purpose of this investigation was to add to the information we had on river flow for the Upper Waitaki River tributaries. We used this to update our understanding of the river network/system and ensure we have good robust knowledge of how much water there is, where water is coming from and where it is going. What we did Over the years 2003 and 2004 Environment Canterbury hydrology field staff measured the surface water flows at least eight times is around 140 rivers and streams in the Upper Waitaki. This information was used to create a basic understanding of river flows. It also showed where gaps in our knowledge were. To fill these gaps our hydrology field staff measured water flows at 54 locations in the Upper Waitaki over the years 2007 and 2008. Combining the information from the two investigations helps us to further complete the picture and fit the recent information into the existing knowledge. How are we using the information? Where to from here? We now understand better how much water is where. We will be able to give more robust estimates of flow statistics to better represent river and stream flow and build a numerical model representing the interactions between river/stream flow, groundwater and water quality in the Upper Waitaki. In the future Environment Canterbury may then use this information to assist in making decisions on water allocation, minimum flows, and nutrient load limits in streams and rivers in this region. Environment Canterbury Technical Report i Update of flow statistics for tributaries of the Upper Waitaki River Executive Summary Between 2003-2004, an extensive field investigation throughout the Waitaki catchment was carried out with the purpose of gaining knowledge of flows at around 140 sites (Gabites and Horrell, 2005). Some of these sites had been measured in the past while for many there was no flow information. The information gained by this survey was invaluable. Gabites and Horrell (2005) estimated seven-day mean annual low flow (MALF(7D)), and mean flow, and made recommendations for further field work to improve areas of uncertainty. Another field survey was carried out in 2007-2008, involving 54 sites focusing on the central Mackenzie Basin rivers and streams, including Grays River, Irishman Creek, Mary Burn, Twizel River, Quail Burn, Wairepo Creek and some selected tributaries of these streams. This report gives details of updated flow statistics for these streams. However, with any work of this kind there are complications caused by some sites lacking measurements at higher or low flows, which has resulted in some streams’ estimates not being available until further gaugings are completed. This report also makes recommendations for further field work at selected sites throughout the catchment, including all minimum flow sites, and water quality monitoring sites. A greater number of field measurements, together with a greater number of consented takes being metered, should give us greater confidence in our flow knowledge of the catchment’s tributaries. The results from this report will assist in developing an integrated surface water, groundwater and water quality model of the catchment, which will then lead into limit setting by way of a sub- regional plan for the Waitaki Catchment. The outcomes of the model and any subsequent analysis and information are likely to feed into the sub-regional flow plan review. ii Environment Canterbury Technical Report Update of flow statistics

INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview This excursion provides an overview of the geology and tectonics of the Waitaki valley, including some features of its hydroelectric dams. The excursion highlight is Aviemore Dam, constructed in the 1960s across a major fault, the subsequent (mid-1990s – early 2000s) discovery and quantification of late Quaternary displacement on this fault and the resulting engineering mitigation of the dam foundation fault displacement hazard. The excursion provides insights to the nature and expression of faults in the Waitaki landscape, and the character and ages of the Waitaki alluvial terrace sequences.

The Wrybill Anarhynchusfrontalis:a brief review of status,threats and work in progress.Wader Study Group Bull. 100: 20-24. The Wrybill is a threatenedplover endemic to New Zealandand unique in havinga bill curvedto the right.It is specializedfor breedingon bareshingle in thebraided riverbeds of Canterburyand Otago in the SouthIsland. After breeding,almost the entirepopulation migrates north and wintersin the harboursaround Auckland. The speciesis classifiedas Vulnerable. Based on countsof winteringflocks, the population currently appears to number4,500-5,000 individuals.However, countingproblems mean that trendsare difficult to determine. The mainthreats to theWrybill arebelieved to be predationon thebreeding grounds, degradation of breeding habitat,and floodingof nests.In a recentstudy in the MackenzieBasin, predation by introducedmammals (mainly stoats,cats and possibly ferrets) had a substantialimpact on Wrybill survivaland productivity. Prey- switchingby predatorsfollowing the introductionof rabbithaemorrhagic disease in 1997 probablyincreased predationrates on breedingwaders. A recentstudy of stoatsin the TasmanRiver showedthat 11% of stoat densexamined contained Wrybill remains.Breeding habitat is beinglost in somerivers and degraded in oth- ers,mainly by waterabstraction and flow manipulation,invasion of weeds,and human recreational use. Flood- ing causessome loss of nestsbut is alsobeneficial, keeping nesting areas weed-free. The breedingrange of the speciesappears to be contractingand fragmenting, with the bulk of the popula- tion now breedingin three large catchments.

The results of these investigations have been reported in various reports, theses, Department of Conservation publications, and scientific papers. Results of all significant research have been published, can be found through literature searches, and are widely available. Internal reports that do not warrant publication are held at the Twizel Te Manahuna Area Office and at the main Department of Conservation library in Wellington. All unpublished Project River Recovery reports produced since 1998 have been assigned report numbers. In addition to reports on original research, Project River Recovery has produced magazine articles and newspaper feature articles, various annual reports, progress reports, discussion documents, and plans. It has also commissioned some reports from consultants. This bibliography updates the bibliography compiled in 2000 (Sanders 2000) and lists all reports, theses, diplomas, Department of Conservation publications, and scientific papers that were produced or supported by Project River Recovery between 1991 and July 2007. It does not list brochures, posters, fact sheets, newsletters, abstracts for conference programmes, or minor magazine or newspaper articles.
