APARIMA COMMUNITY ENVIRONMENT (ACE) PROJECT
Water Quality Testing
The ACE project is building awareness and engagement within the urban and rural communities to help understand, identify and own any water quality issues. To help this, additional water quality and habitat data is going to be collected (in addition to what the regional council is collecting). Results will be shared with the community along with developing an understand of how land management can influence the results.

ACE Water quality - How, What, Why with Justin Kitto, DairyNZ
ACE has 4 current workstreams within their 3 year community project. In this video we discuss part of the Water Quality workstream and explain where we are at and how we have gotten to where we are today.
Otautau Stream Walk - Intro
Otautau Stream at Waikouro. With Covid some of the ACE 2022 Stream walks looked a little different. The Mid Aparima CG were quick to think of another way they could deliver their 2022 stream walk - virtually! Enjoy.
Catchment Groups have been asking for more detailed insights into their individual catchments to help their farmers to make informed decisions.
There is plenty of available information but it has never been collated into one place – until now!
We’ve pulled a whole range of information together into brochures; providing insights based on available information, bringing together published science, research, data and information on the state of water, soil and land in catchments.
They provide details on what affects water quality and how these impact the rest of the catchment, including out-of-catchment areas that may be impacted by what goes on in the catchment, such as the estuary.
Thriving Southland is a community-led group with a vision to create a prosperous Southland, healthy people, healthy environment from the mountains to the sea.
