Climate and Surface Water Quantity State of the Environment Report
A 5 year State of the Environment hydrometric report has been produced for the years from 2000 to 2004, inclusive. This follows a comprehensive summary of long-term climate, rainfall and flow normals produced by Bowis and Faulkner in 2000. These long-term normals are scheduled to be recalculated in 2010.
Climate, rainfall and flow statistics are presented to fulfil the Regional Council’s responsibility to monitor and report on the environment, and to assist Council staff and resources users in climate, rainfall and river flow and analysis. Parameters and sites included in the report were based on those presented in 2000, with the aim of disclosing trends and patterns that characterised the 2000 to 2004 period.
