Water Quality Monitoring

 I went out on the Bay of Plenty Regional Council regular water monitoring run around many streams and rivers that flow into or out of the Rotorua Lakes. The people you see are Dr Troy Baisden for Waikato University with his graduate student Clare and Kasjan from BOPRC. This work is important in order to see how well our waterways are doing and whether they are improving in quality or deteriorating. The tests look for water flow speed, water clarity, suspended solids and nitrogen and phosphorus levels in the water
