Water quality monitoring map - other rivers and streams

The map below divides the Waikato region into seven major catchment zones – each containing Waikato Regional Council monitoring sites. For each site, we show how good the water quality is for human contact recreation and for ecological uses (the plants and animals that live in the water).

Click on a monitoring site for details, or the text at the bottom of the page provides the names of the streams and sites if that is easier for you.

Note that this page doesn't include Waikato River sites. Click here for Waikato River monitoring.
