Wednesday September 27 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 23 Your Local Views Protecting waterways on the peninsula It was World Rivers Day on Sunday, which aims to celebrate and protect waterways around the globe. Banks Peninsula Water Management Zone Joint Committee chairwomen Paula Smith writes about how our local waterways are faring World Rivers Day is a good time to think about the state of our local rivers and streams. On Banks Peninsula, rivers are not big but we have lots of them. There are hundreds of separate streams and creeks draining every valley, taking water down to join the sea in every bay. Our waterways are typically short, steep and susceptible to contamination from phosphorous-rich sediment. So what condition are they in? Environment Canterbury regularly calculates a water quality index for selected Banks Peninsula streams. The index combines a number of measurements to provide an indicator of overall water quality. In 2014-15, one of the 13 streams was assessed as good, nine were fair, and three were poor. Twenty three Banks Peninsula streams are assessed each year for ‘aquatic ecosystem health’. Some streams score very well, others less so. Results vary widely from year to year and there are lost of factors. So far it is not clear from the data whether the ecosystem health of Banks Peninsula’s streams overall is improving or declining. We may like to think that our Banks Peninsula rivers and streams are in pretty good shape but the evidence does not allow us to be complacent. What can be done to improve the situation? Since its first meeting six years ago, the Banks Peninsula zone committee has allocated more than $600,000 to 26 projects intended to maintain and improve water quality and freshwater biodiversity on Banks Peninsula. STREAM: A typical water catchment on Banks Peninsula, which Paula Smith aims to protect. Has it made a difference? We are not sure. Most of the funding has been used to fence stock out and plant natives on stream banks. Research elsewhere has shown fencing and riparian planting is an effective way to reduce contamination and enhance freshwater habitat. We assume it is working here and that the money is well spent. Some streams are now fenced and planted ki uta ki tai, from the mountains to the sea, providing protection for the whole length of the stream. The zone committee is looking forward to receiving the most recent monitoring results for Banks Peninsula’s rivers and streams in the upcoming months. Funding, support, and advice are available to landowners with ideas on how to improve water quality in their streams or enhance freshwater biodiversity. •For more information, get in touch with zone facilitator Olivia Smith on 027 886 3949.
