  • An Analysis of Groundwater Quality in the Morven, Glenavy and Ikawai Area, South Canterbury, New Zealand
    An analysis of groundwater quality in the Morven, Glenavy and Ikawai area, South Canterbury, New Zealand. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts m Geography in the University of Canterbury by David William _fampbell .. University of Canterbury 1996 !f:Nt,:;<~ ERING LIBRARY Tb 3l)..f, .W/32 .C/gl Frontispiece ~~~~ A representation of the study area: Greener pastures - greater production. Does this affect the groundwater quality? l : NOV 2005 ii Abstract The quality of groundwater beneath land surfaces can be influenced by activities carried out on the land. The combination of these activities and effects of the physical environment can cause groundwater contamination, being the threshold at which human or animal health is at risk. The physical environment can induce unacceptable levels of chemicals to groundwater and these may be measured by indicators such as pH and hardness. Particular activities leading to contamination in rural environments include farming activities utilising irrigation and chemicals to enhance production. An outcome of these activities may include the disposal of animal wastes which is a direct contaminant input having the potential to reach groundwater. Settlement patterns, in particular small settlements which are unsewered, can also contribute to groundwater contamination through sewage disposal from septic tanks. This thesis explores how these activities may influence groundwater quality of the Morven, Glenavy and Ikawai area in South Canterbury, New Zealand. In doing so it utilises groundwater measurements taken by the Canterbury Regional Council from 90 wells in February and May 1996. The results from these measur~ments are related using a Geographic Information System to various human activities, namely farm type, irrigation, waste disposal and settlement patterns and two physical parameters, soil permeability and groundwater depth or piezometric surface.

Night in Waimate. Day 2 : Otaio Gorge (Paleogene-early Miocene nonmarine-marine sequence); Squires Farm (Oligocene unconformity); Makikihi (Plio-Pleistocene shallow marine to nonmarine fossiliferous strata); Elephant Hill Stream (Early Miocene; start of Neogene basin infill). Which localities are visited will depend on weather, time taken at early stops, and farm/quarry activities which normally don’t prevent access - but may occasionally.

  • Ka Pakihi Whakatekatekao Waitaha:The Archaeology Of
    that from the 1830s some fortified sites assumed the role of permanent or semi-permanent settlements. With the decline in warfare, palisaded or open villages or kainga on low ground became characteristic. The archaeological evidence does not yet provide grounds to question these generalisations, although the use of fortifications prior to the mid-eighteenth century has not been investigated and should not be ruled out. At the two fortifications where excavations have taken place, the defensive structures had more than one phase of occupation, suggesting some persistence of defensive function through time. At Kaiapoi, the Huirapa gateway was a secondary feature, constructed through a previously unbroken defensive perimeter wall (Trotter 1990). The compacted earth bank at the south-west corner of the site contained a quantity of occupational debris indicating occupation prior to the construction of the defences (Jacomb 1992: 100). At Onawe, excavation of the landward earthworks showed that a pair of sub-parallel fences of closely spaced stakes had preceded the earth wall (Trotter 1986a). Artefacts found at these and other sites are consistent with a relatively late date (greenstone adzes, a pendant, and tikis, and a greywacke patu butt at Onawe, McCulloch 1982; a fragment of lead waste from the Kaiapoi bank, Jacomb 1992: 100; and crockery and clay pipes from Te Mata Hapuka, M37/22, site record form). The existence of fortifications implies the need by social groups to defend their occupation of territory and its resources. The distribution of fortified sites (Figure 20) therefore indicates the existence of permanent populations in the Kaiapoi, Horomaka, Waihora, and Temuka areas.
