This dataset was first added to MfE Data Service on 27 Jun 2018.
Water quality for swimming categories for lakes with perimeters over 1.5 km. This dataset was used to compose the current state for water quality for swimming.
Note this data is under review and will be updated in due course. This information is based on modelled and measured data using the approach outlined at
www.mfe.govt.nz/fresh-water/freshwater-management-...
The modelling methods used are outlined in Snelder et al. (2016) Strategic assessment of New Zealand’s freshwaters for recreational use: a human health perspective. LWP Client Report 2016-011 www.mfe.govt.nz/publications/fresh-water/strategic...
