Canterbury - Residual Flows

Canterbury - Residual Flows - Monitoring sites associated with maintaining residiual flows. A residual flow applies to specific consents that take water from a tributary of a main river. A residual flow recognises that a tributary stream often has different flow characteristics from the main river stem. It is set at the point of take on a case by case basis, to provide for the aquatic ecosystems and natural character of the source water body.
