This is one of a series of reports being written to help inform the Zone Committee and the local community about the current state and trends in water quantity and quality within their zone. The problem We needed to summarise groundwater quality data for the Waimakariri zone and its water management subzones and analyse any recent trends in concentrations to understand the current state and stresses on the system. Nitrogen, in the form of nitrate, is the nutrient we are most concerned about in groundwater. What we did We compiled what was known about how groundwater behaves in the Waimakariri zone: where it comes from; where it flows to and how it is connected with the surface water systems. We also looked at the distribution of rock and soil types, land uses and wastewater discharges in the zone. These can all influence the patterns we see in groundwater quality. We extracted groundwater quality data from Environment Canterbury’s water quality database and plotted them on maps. We looked at time series data for nitrate concentrations in long-term monitoring wells to see if and how these were changing in the zone. What we found Groundwater quality is generally very good and in most places meets drinking-water standards. Poorer quality groundwater occurs naturally in some areas, often linked to organic-rich coastal soils and sediments in old swamp areas where iron, manganese and sometimes arsenic can affect water quality. Users of shallow private wells are most at risk from pathogens (disease-causing microorganisms), especially near effluent disposal or animal grazing areas. Nitrate concentrations in groundwater could pose a health risk to a small number of users of shallow domestic wells. Community supply protection zones have been established to protect the quality of the groundwater resource accessed for public supply of drinking-water, especially from microbiological contamination. The Waimakariri zone has a long history of farming land uses. Some farming activities have released nitrogen to the environment which has leached into groundwater as nitrate. Nitrate concentrations were already high in some monitoring wells when we first began regular sampling on the Ashley-Waimakariri plains in the 1980s. Since then nitrate concentrations have fluctuated, but there has been no overall long-term trend. Intensification of land use in the Eyre River subzone is causing an increase in nitrate in some wells and springs in the Kaiapoi River catchment. Some of the nitrate load from the current land use is likely still moving through the groundwater to the surface waterways. What does it mean? Groundwater affected by natural contaminants (iron and manganese) cannot be managed by controls on land use, but can only be avoided or treated at the point of supply. Pathogens are generally controlled by good design and treatment in wastewater systems, livestock and irrigation management, and careful disposal of animal effluent. Owners of shallow private wells should regularly test their drinking-water for E. coli (a pathogen indicator) or install disinfection systems. Diffuse sources of nitrogen leaching from land use are the main threat to groundwater quality in the Waimakariri zone. Any increases of nitrate in groundwater are likely to affect the ecology of spring-fed streams, especially the Cust Main Drain and the Ohoka Stream and Kaiapoi River. Groundwater nitrate is elevated in parts of the Eyre River, Loburn, Cust and Kowai subzones. In the Cust and Kowai subzones, nitrate concentrations are close to the drinking-water limit in places. Groundwater has a naturally greater capacity to assimilate nitrate in the Ashley and Coastal Wetland subzones. Management of pathogens and nutrient losses will contribute greatly to helping the community achieve some of their desired outcomes. Limiting the leaching of nitrogen from farming is particularly important for the health of spring-fed streams, so that they maintain or improve opportunities for mahinga kai gathering and diverse aquatic life. Managing diffuse nitrogen discharges from farms and controlling the discharge of pathogens, particularly within community drinking water supply protection zones, will also help communities in this zone maintain their access to safe drinking water from groundwater.

    Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 1 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Page 2 Two Into One – compiled by Jean D.Turvey Published by Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish 53 Fuller Street Kaiapoi Email - [email protected] ISBN 0-476-00222-2 ©Copyright Kaiapoi Co-operating Parish, February 2004 Printed by Wickliffe Print 482 Moorhouse Avenue Christchurch PREFACE This is a story of three parishes - one Methodist, one Presbyterian, and one Co- operating - worshiping and witnessing in Kaiapoi in three different centuries. It starts with pioneer settlers in a small village half a world away from their homes. It ends - at least this part of the story does - in a burgeoning satellite town. Letters and news originally took months to arrive. Now they are as instant as emails and television. However, through the dramatic changes of the last 150 years runs the common thread of faith. This is a story which needs to be read twice. The first time, read what Jean Turvey has written. In any history there are those people who stand out because of their leadership, strong personalities, or eccentricities. Ministers loom large, simply because they are involved in most aspects of parish life. Buildings feature, because they provide a focal point for congregational life. The second reading of this history is more difficult. You need to read between the lines, to focus on what is not written. The unrecorded history of these three parishes is just as vital as the narration of obvious events and personalities. It consists of people whose names are unknown, but who worshipped faithfully and gave life to these local churches.

Ecroyd1 and Eckehard G. Brockerhoff2 1 Ensis, Private Bag 3020, Rotorua, New Zealand Author for correspondence (E-mail: [email protected]) 2 Ensis, P.O. Box 29237, Christchurch, New Zealand ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract: The Canterbury Plains have lost most of their pre-Polynesian indigenous vegetation, primarily forest and shrubland. One of the few remaining areas is the 2.3 ha Eyrewell Scientific Reserve which consists mostly of low känuka (Kunzea ericoides) forest and a small area of grassland. We assessed the Reserve vegetation using a combination of plots and transect surveys at different times of the year between 2001–2003. For comparison with the Reserve vegetation we also assessed plots in an adjacent grazed känuka remnant, adjacent cultivated pasture and Eyrewell Forest, a pine plantation. Our study of the Eyrewell Reserve in 2001–2003 found that since an assessment of the Reserve in 1972, 28 indigenous species were no longer present but 14 indigenous species and 48 adventive species were newly recorded. The dramatic invasion of the Reserve is illustrated by the fact that 60% of the 118 species recorded in 2003 were adventives compared to 34% in 1972. Despite this invasion and the loss of indigenous species, Reserve plots still have more than twice as many species as plots in the adjacent pine plantation. The Reserve also included several species of high conservation value such as the “Chronically Threatened” Leptinella serrulata, and the “At Risk” Aciphylla subflabellata, Coprosma intertexta and Pterostylis tristis.

  • 3 a CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT for CHRISTCHURCH Colin D
    3 A CONSERVATION BLUEPRINT FOR CHRISTCHURCH Colin D. Meurk1 and David A. Norton2 Introduction To be 'living in changing times* is nothing new. But each new technological revolution brings an increasingly frantic pace of change. There has been a growing separation of decision-makers from the environmental consequences of their actions; there is a general alienation of people from the land, and there has been a corresponding quantum leap in environmental and social impacts. The sad and simple truth is that the huge advances in power and sophistication of our technology have not been matched by an equivalent advance in understanding and wise use of its immense power. From a natural history perspective the colonies of the European empires suffered their most dramatic changes compressed into just a few short centuries. In New Zealand over the past millenium, the Polynesians certainly left their mark on the avifauna in addition to burning the drier forests and shrublands. But this hardly compares with the biological convuolsions of the last century or so as European technology transformed just about all arable, grazable, burnable and millable land into exotic or degraded communities, regardless of their suitability for the new uses. Even today, 2 000 ha of scrub is burnt annually in North Canterbury alone. It is equally tragic, since the lessons from past mistakes are all too obvious, that there has persisted an ongoing, but barely discernible, attrition of those natural areas that survived the initial onslaught. Inevitably the greatest pressures have occurred in and around the major urban centres. The European settlers were primarily concerned with survival, development, and attempts to tame the unfamiliar countryside.
