Abstract

A long term monitoring programme of Lake Taupō’s water quality was commissioned by Waikato Regional Council in October 1994 in the expectation that the trophic state of the lake would change to reflect changes in land use within the lake's catchment. This programme is conducted by NIWA with field assistance from the Department of Internal Affairs, Taupō Harbourmaster’s Office.

This report presents data from the routine mid-lake monitoring station from August 2011 to July 2012. Additional information for water clarity, temperature, and chlorophyll a collected between August 2012 and the time of writing this report has also been included in the data sets in the appendices.
