Yesterday Arthur Bowen performed his standard water monitoring run as part of our monthly water monitoring programme.  Due to the rain we have had lately – algae- which had built up over the warmer summer months in the stream, has been flushed out.  As a result, the stream looks quite healthy and clean. We observed an abundance of 10 cm elvers in the headwaters (mainly in the forest) as well as some Inanga in the Aramatua stream…all very encouraging news for our water quality data.
