Wellington Regional Council, NZ monitoring water quality
Wellington Regional Council partnered with the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) to trial new technology, stormwater bottles and small gel discs, for monitoring water quality. The stormwater bottles capture water samples when streams rise to a preselected level and the small gel discs are able to absorb dissolved metals. This technology was expected to help the Council locate contaminants and gauge water quality at a lower cost than existing techniques.
