Water quality after the rain: Caution should be taken!

Caution should be taken!

Since the rain we have gladly experienced over the last few days, it is highly likely that the water quality in our waterways has significantly declined. Although we have not taken any sampling since the recent rainfall, previous monitoring would suggest that the overland runoff of rainwater collecting and carrying land based pollutants will impact on the water quality in our rivers and streams.

We do not wish to appear to be alarmist, but we do believe caution should be taken if engaging in contact with the water or collecting kai.
