Monitoring Innovation on the Awa 

Darlene and Brett, our Wai Coordinators embedded within Te Iho Wai Ltd., began trialling Aqua Watch water monitoring waka on the Mangaone Stream, in partnership with Armatec Environmental. These waka collect water quality data—including turbidity, oxygen, pH, and temperature—and send it directly to HQ. It’s a smart way to monitor tributaries flowing into the Waiwhakaiho Awa, and more waka may be on the way.
