Book in now, online or give us a call. 1063 Ferry Rd. Ferrymead www.physioevolved.co.nz P. 03 384 4766 News Waterways rated ‘poor’ WATER QUALITY in most waterways has remained steady but the majority are still ranked as ‘poor’, a new city council report shows. The council has published its annual Christchurch Surface Water Quality Report, an analysis of water quality data collected throughout last year. Council waterways ecologist Dr Belinda Margetts led the research, and says water quality in most Christchurch waterways is unchanged from previous years. “There were some improvements and some declines in water quality at certain sites, but overall the quality is much the same as we’ve seen previously,” said Margetts. But improving water quality is a slow process, she said, as Christchurch’s waterways suffer from a condition known as ‘urban stream syndrome’. “The main contaminants in our waterways are from waterfowl droppings, dog poo and stormwater run-off contaminated with metals from cars and roofs, and sediment. “The contaminants of most concern include QUALITY: The Ōtūkaikino River, which runs through The Groynes. PHOTO: NEWSLINE nitrogen, phosphorus, Escherichia coli (an indicator of faecal contamination that can cause illness), and dissolved zinc and copper.” Waterways are monitored at 42 sites across the district, with more than 11,000 tests being conducted. Of the samples tested, 20 per cent did not meet quality guideline levels and 98 percent of sites did not meet guideline levels for at least one of the quality factors measured. After all the data had been analysed, each monitoring site was scored, with most being ‘poor’. None were ‘very good’ and none were ‘very poor’. “The catchment with the best overall water quality was the Ōtūkaikino River catchment and the worst was the Ōpawaho- Heathcote River catchment,” said Margetts. Of all the sites monitored, the site with the best score was in the Pūharakekenui- Styx River at Main North Rd. The site with the worst score was in Curletts Rd Stream, with the next lowest being in the Ōpawaho-Heathcote River at Tunnel Rd, Haytons Stream and the Ōpawaho- Heathcote River at Ferrymead Bridge.
