About this report

The overall aim of this study was to benchmark the macroinvertebrate communities in the Waikato, Waipā and Waihou Rivers. More specifically, the objectives were to:
1. Examine changes in community structure along the river length
2. Establish whether different community structures exist in different river
systems.

Eight sites were sampled on the Waikato, five on the Waihou and three sites on the Waipā River.
