Abstract

This report was commissioned to provide an independent review of Waikato Regional Council's shallow lakes indicators project.

The primary objectives of this review were to determine:

  • whether shallow lake indicators as used currently are appropriate for the
    purposes of evaluating lake health and effectiveness of management activities
  • whether the frequency of monitoring as currently employed is sufficient for
    these purposes
  • whether additional indicators exist that should be investigated for future
    monitoring purposes.
