Staff and experience

Some major studies:

The 100 rivers survey - a co-operative study of the hydrology, benthos, fish, periphyton, and water quality in a large number of New Zealand rivers. Instram habitat model for predicting trout and benthic invertebrate abundance in the New Zealand rivers. Testing the effectiveness of flow regime assessments where biological surveys have been carried out before and after flow modifications.

Studies of most New Zealand hydro-electric schemes. These include estimation of probable maximum precipitation and probable maximum floods for Clutha and Waikato, power station operation, floods and flood routing, hydrological analyses, sedimentation studies, operational simulation to environmental impact and fish habitat studies.
