This farm dairy effluent (FDE) risk layer is designed to guide the selection of appropriate rates and depths for FDE application to land. Application rates and depths to accompany this layer are specified within material produced by Dairy NZ. This layer is based on regional soil mapping (SMAP – Maanaki Whenua) designed to be used at 1:50,000 scale. As...

Farmer led community catchment groups have evolved in Southland over the last few years. They have a general purpose of increasing awareness and understanding of water quality issues and environmental policy changes through community engagement and information transfer. While each group is different, it is not a ‘one size fits all’ model, and they have...
