    Surface water quality The Water of Leith and Lindsay’s Creek Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek © Copyright for this publication is held by the Otago Regional Council. This publication may be reproduced in whole or in part provided the source is fully and clearly acknowledged. ISBN 1-877265-67-5 Published August 2008 Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek i Foreword To help protect water quality, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carries out long- term water quality monitoring as part of a State of the Environment programme. To supplement this information, targeted and detailed short-term monitoring programmes are also implemented in some catchments. This report provides the results from more detailed investigations carried out in three catchments: Water of Leith Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek The Water of Leith and Kaikorai Stream are both located in Dunedin and drain typical residential and industrial areas. Both watercourses have many stormwater outfalls which compromise water quality. The Waitati River and Carey’s Creek have little development in their catchments. The upper catchments are forested while lower in the catchment, pasture dominates. Water quality is generally very good. This report forms a baseline study from which ORC and local community programmes can work together to address various issues in the catchments. It is hoped that these catchment programmes will promote environmentally sound practices which will sustain and improve water quality. Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Careys Creek Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek ii Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Careys Creek Water of Leith, Kaikorai, Waitati and Carey’s Creek iii Executive summary Between July 2007 and March 2008, the Otago Regional Council (ORC) carried out intensive water quality monitoring programmes in the following catchments: Water of Leith Kaikorai Stream Waitati River and Carey’s Creek The aim of this monitoring was to establish a baseline water quality.

  • THE ZEN of CRUISING NEW ZEALAND Text and Photos by Amanda Castleman
    >travelgirl glimpse: new zealand Hei Matau: Safe Passage Across Water THE ZEN OF CRUISING NEW ZEALAND text and photos by Amanda Castleman An albatross lazes along beside the boat. Our engines push against the wind and on-rushing tide off New Zealand’s Otago Peninsula. But this bird just cruises — look ma, no hands! — on its 10-foot wingspan. That same power carries non-breeding toroa (royal northern albatrosses) on circumpolar flights, skating along the Antarctic fringes and nesting on far-flung, salt-chapped islands. Just one colony, here at Taiaroa Head, deigns to live on a human-inhabited mainland. Otago is an exception-worthy place with its free- hold farms, sun-soaked coves and volcanic sea cliffs. Sand dunes rear up 325 feet in one area. The nation’s only castle rides the peninsula’s spine: a monument to William Larnach, a gold miner turned banker and 19th-century politician. Nearby lives the world’s rarest penguin, the native Hoiho (“noise shouter” in Maori), Mount Cargill’s trails overlook Dunedin and the Otago peninsula, home to the only colony of royal northern albatrosses on a human-inhabited mainland. which slouches on the $5 bill beside some giant daisies. 54 kiXm\c^`ic nnn%kiXm\c^`ic`eZ%Zfd 55 >travelgirl glimpse: new zealand Like much of New Zealand, Otago’s natural beauty is epic. Wide-screen. Almost over-bright, as if Hobbit Director Peter Jackson filmed the whole Colorado-sized country in 48 frames per second. And though I’ve been warned — begged even — not to mention “bloody Middle Earth again,” I can’t help myself.
