An average of 16 years’ data at sites in the upper Taireri River catchment was used to determine
if water quality had changed commensurate with an increase in the irrigated area and land-use
change. To help remediate perceived gaps in the nutrient modelling software Overseer†, data
was also collected from a low-intensity border dyke and high-intensity spray-irrigated property
