The projects below have undertaken research Nationwide. This could be through partnerships, case studies, modelling or on-farm research.
Reasons for Water Quality Improvement
Investigating the reasons for decreasing phosphorus concentrations in many waterways
Phosphorus Best Practice
Investigating whether current fertiliser and effluent guidelines and policy are strong enough to prevent phosphorus loss
Assessing Contaminants with Stream Order
Determining whether excluding livestock from large streams in flat catchments would substantially decrease the contaminant load
Measuring Denitrification
The development of a method for measuring denitrification is a first for New Zealand, providing vital data for understanding natural denitrification processes
