Data obtained is used <strong>to</strong>calculate and map a Water Quality Index, based on the "New Zealand Water Quality'General Use' Index" (Smith 1987) which ranks sites in reference 10 general use as"eminently suitable"; "suitable"; "doubtful"; "unsuitable" and "<strong>to</strong>tally unsuitable". Datapresented on the Macroinvertebrate Community Index (Starck 1985), which ranks sitesaccording <strong>to</strong> fauna diversity and taxa susceptibility <strong>to</strong> pollution. Presents rankings asmaps and gives appendix of raw data. Mapsinclude general maps of land use. Measured8 sites along the HOTokiri Stream, 6 along the Pauatahanui Stream and 8 along POTiruaStream. HOTokiri Stream 'suitable' along whole length, Pauatahanui Stream '<strong>to</strong>tallyunsuitable' upstream gradually improving <strong>to</strong> 'suitable' downstream, but becoming'doubtful' at the mouth.
