We are experiencing higher volumes of enquiries at the moment related to successive significant rainfall events in January and February. We are working hard to reply to these enquiries while at the same time planning and undertaking work to remove debris dams and blockages, and remediate impacted areas.

About this report

Freshwater Ecosystem Services project involves assessments of ecosystem services (and their values) from freshwater bodies (rivers, streams, lakes and wetlands) in the Waikato region. The services and values are being presented in a web-map as a tool to apply the concepts of ecosystem services as stated in the Waikato Regional Policy Statement objective 3.8. In this Phase (Phase 2) of the project, the concepts were applied to terrestrial geothermal sites in the Waikato Region. The results were discussed and presented in this report.
