	Making concrete: ecological implications of gravel extraction in New Zealand rivers - NIWA Science (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		River engineers manage extraction rates to maintain the flood capacity of channels by seeking a balance between extraction rates and the naturally occurring gravel supply from catchment headwaters.
		In Southland, lowering of the Oreti River bed has caused concern about bridge pier stability, and gravel is now taken by excavating lagoons alongside the active river channel.
		We focused our study on the Kakanui River near Oamaru in Otago and the Waimea River and its tributary the Wairoa River (hereafter referred to as Wairoa) near Nelson in the Tasman District because they differ in both their rates of gravel extraction and their predicted rates of gravel supply.

	South Island waters unsafe for swimmers - Manawatu Standard: local, national & world news from Manawatu's daily ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		They say a fast-growing population discharging sewage into lakes, rivers and coastlines, a massive intensification of agricultural land use and over-allocation of water in recent years are eroding the quality of the country's waterways at an alarming level.
		She said general rules to follow included not swimming in rivers for 48 hours after heavy rainfall and going inland, where the water might be colder but was likely to be safer.
		In Southland, recreational users are advised not to use the lower Oreti River, the Aparima River at Thornbury, near Riverton, the Waikaia River at Waikaia, north-west of Gore, and the Mataura River at Gore.

	oreti river
		The Oreti River rises in the vicinity of Cold Peak in the Thompson Mountains and flows mainly in the southerly direction, firstly through high tussock land and some bush to emerge into lower lying tussock country, thence on through well-roaded flattish farming land to join the New River estuary a few kilometres west of Invercargill.
		Although this river affords the angler over 130 km of every type of angling for brown trout, ranging from an abundance of takeable fish to the sea-run specimen up to 11 kg, and the wily residents of the upper reaches, some of which will top the 4.5 kg mark.
		It is a medium sized, easy flowing river with wide gravel beaches and many intriguing holes, often flanked by good picnic spots.

	Scoop: Water Conservation Order Sought For Oreti River
		The application affects the main stem of the river, and specified tributaries upstream of Mossburn.
		The main stem of the Oreti downstream of Mossburn contributes to the outstanding fishery upstream by providing necessary passage for fish.
		This is to ensure the important spring-fed streams, where they occur, are not deprived of their flows by extractive use and that water from the river is not drawn into the unconfined aquifers as a result of groundwater extraction,” he says.

		Two of the area's most famous fly-fishing rivers are the Mataura and the Oreti (though there are many options within an hour's drive from the lodge).

		The lodge, with three guest rooms, is situated south of Queenstown, directly across from the Mataura River, on 23 acres of lush New Zealand farmland.

		The recent discovery of lagarosiphon ((Lagarosiphon major, or South African oxygen weed) in the mid reaches of the Oreti River (west of Jospephville) has ES staff on high alert.
		Lagarosiphon was discovered by Fish and Game early in April and whilst it is known to be present in localised streams in Invercargill and in fish and duck ponds on private property, this is the first time the pest plant has been discovered in the Oreti.
		During his initial inspection, ES senior biosecurity officer Keith Crothers noted the presence of lagarosiphon in a number of side channels, lagoons and ponds within the Oreti River berm area and said it appeared to have been established there for some time.

	Optical Characteristics of New Zealand Rivers in Relation to Flow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Six years (1989-1994) of data from New Zealand\'s National Rivers Water Quality Network were used to characterize the optical water quality regime of river waters as regards: visual clarity (fl disc visibility), turbidity, and light-absorbing aquatic humic material (referred to as \"yellow substance,\' measured as light absorption at 440 nm).
		Quantitative relationships between optical water quality variables and flow in rivers are well-described by power law expressions.
		Therefore, rivers are typically clear and low in humic matter at low flow, and turbid and yellow-colored at high flow.
