I noticed some extreme river works had been done to the entire stream channel that has resulted in a mass sediment load to the reach. This can result in degraded spawning habitat, reduced interstitial dissolved oxygen and reduced habitat quality for the entire stream fauna. I lodged this with Horizons Regional Council Pollution hotline on December 30th. Today is January 18th and I'm still waiting for a response. I wouldn't call it a hotline!...

The photo shows a cool low tech way to capture the first flush event. As the stream rises , more stormwater is entering the system  and the bottle attached to the waratah simply samples the surface water which is then despatched to a lab for metals analyses....
