Understanding inter-annual variability of water quality in Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes

River Lake analysed water quality from 12 Rotorua Te Arawa lakes to better understand potential causes of interannual variability of the Trophic Level Index (TLI); and explored ways to account for natural variability when expressing TLI targets.

Long-term water quality trends were statistically analysed. The report documents adjustments required for phosphorus data in order to account for laboratory analytical changes over the period 2010-2019.
