ISBN 978-0-478-37621-0 Prepared by Scott Wilson and Xiaofeng Lu Published December 2011 Rainfall recharge assessment for Otago groundwater basins i Foreword Groundwater in Otago is frequently the sole or major source of water to supply basic water needs to communities and stock watering. Currently groundwater only supplies a small proportion of irrigation needs, however there is increasing pressure for people to turn to groundwater because surface water supplies are heavily allocated. Over abstraction can result in loss of supply to other users and therefore careful management is required to keep abstraction rates sustainable. Groundwater resources have varying rates of recharge and often form a complex dependency with adjacent water courses, wetlands and stream networks. The effects of inappropriate land and water use and development on groundwater quantity and quality are often long term, and in some cases permanent. It is therefore important that particular consideration be given to the protection of aquifers for the continuing benefit of present and future generations. Through the Regional Plan: Water we ensure linkage with the community to deliver the efficient use and protection of our groundwater aquifers. This report provides an assessment of the amount of rainfall recharge to some of the regions main aquifers. The information has been calculated using the best available information and will assist the understanding of the status of this valuable resource. ii Rainfall recharge assessment for Otago groundwater basins Executive summary Groundwater recharge due to rainfall is one of the primary sources of replenishment for Otago aquifers. This report estimates rainfall recharge for 13 groundwater basins in Otago. The rainfall recharge totals will assist in informing groundwater allocation assessment within the Council’s Regional Plan: Water with respect to Maximum Allocation Volumes. A soil moisture balance model was used to calculate a daily soil water budget. Input data for this model included rainfall and potential evapotranspiration data, which was mostly sourced from the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) database. The hydraulic properties of soils and their spatial distribution were supplied as a GIS layer by Landcare Research. The input data and modelled recharge values have been archived in ORC’s Hilltop database. The model results are summarised in the following table. Mean annual recharge volumes range from 1.2 to 64.6 million m3/year. To compare values between regions it is more informative to study recharge depths, expressed as mm/year, or as a percentage of median annual rainfall rather than volumes. Groundwater Mean recharge Median annual (mm/yr) Percentage basin (Mm3/year) Rainfall PET (mm/d) Recharge recharge Clydevale-Wairuna 64.6 781 2.1 152 20 Cromwell 1.2 408 2.2 53 12 Ida Valley 18.8 499 2.2 61 12 Inch Clutha 10.4 726 1.9 76 10 Kuriwao 24.2 836 1.9 205 25 Lower Waitaki 18.5 521 2.0 75 17 Maniototo 31.6 483 2.2 29 5 Manuherikia 45.1 531 2.2 64 13 Pomahaka 52.1 944 2.1 212 22 Roxburgh 1.8 599 2.2 88 17 Strath Taieri 8.3 486 2.3 25 5 Tokomairiro 10.3 771 2.1 137 19 Wakatipu 12.5 746 2.6 184 23 Mean annual recharge volumes were found to range from 5 to 25% of median annual rainfall. Higher recharge percentages were found in South Otago and Wakatipu. The Wakatipu basin also showed the least annual recharge variability in the region. The lowest recharge percentages were found in the Strath Taieri and Maniototo basins, where recharge was most vulnerable to dry conditions. In these two areas, along with the Lower Waitaki, recharge showed the most annual variation from the mean. Mean recharge values were found to be 5 to 30% higher than the median, indicating that mean values were strongly biased towards wetter years. Wakatipu was the exception, with its mean recharge values being biased towards drier years. This is because the Wakatipu basin is more prone to extreme dry events than extreme wet events.

  • CATLINS BUSH and BEACH 24Th Feb. – 3Rd March 2018
    CAT CATLINS BUSH AND B EACH CATLINS BUSH AND BEACH Goldfields Cavalcade to Owaka th rd 24 Feb. – 3 March 2018 Gold in the Catlins? Absolutely! Untold tonnes of gold has been washed down the Clutha River (both from it’s present day location and multi- previous routes) on the Catlins north-eastern boundary. Also the Mataura river on its west boundary used to drain the Wakatipu basin and is fed into from the Nokomai. This has resulted in the beaches of the Catlins being quite literally sprinkled in gold! Many a claim has been staked and money and infrastructure invested to acquire this treasure. However by the time the gold made it all the way to the coast from the mountains of origin and tides and currents transported it up and down the coast, only the finest of specks remain. The gold is there to be sure! But the effort put in for the quantities returned is just not sustainable. Energy put into ship building and logging initially was far more profitable. As elsewhere, farming was where the real wealth was to be gained. Today tourism is a key player also in the development and sustainability of the thriving Catlins region. You have probably been here for a look-see before? Come again on the Goldfields Cavalcade and discover some truly hidden gems!

  • Surface Water Quality in South West Otago
    Surface Water Quality in South West Otago June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago ISBN 1-877265-15-2 June 2004 Surface Water Quality in South West Otago i Executive Summary Water quality monitoring in the Wairuna Stream, Waipahi River, Heriotburn and Crookstonburn began in 1996 as part of the state of environment monitoring programme. In response to concerns that water quality may be deteriorating, a more intensive six month surface water quality monitoring programme commenced on the Wairuna Stream in April 2000. Poor water quality results from this programme led to the Waipahi/Clydevale monitoring programme, which encompassed a larger catchment, this ran from October 2002 to October 2003. The third water quality monitoring programme began in May 2000 in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn catchments. Otago Regional Council has also been working with landowners and farmers in the area to minimise the potential impacts of high density farming in an area which is predominantly tile drained. Water quality monitoring focused on six sites in the Wairuna Stream, ten sites in the Waipahi/ Clydesvale and 14 sites in the Heriotburn and Crookstonburn. Spot water sampling was conducted at all sites with water samples tested for a range of physico- chemical and microbiological parameters. Periphyton and macroinvertebrate sampling was also conducted. The monitoring results indicate that water quality in all three catchments is poor with a deterioration in water quality with distance downstream. For example there was a marked increase in Eschericia coli with distance downstream in all watercourses other than the Kaihiku and Waipahi. In addition, the Heriotburn and Wairuna catchments had extremely high median concentrations of indicator bacteria, all sites exceeding MfE/MoH action/red mode levels (550 E.coli/100ml).
