Water physical stocks for selected measures (1995–2014)

Water physical stocks for selected measures (1995–2014)

New Zealand's Environment Reporting Series: The Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand

New Zealand is a water-rich country. Water is found in a network of waterways and lakes, as ground water, in glaciers, and in the soil and plants. Changes in temperature and precipitation patterns affect our water stocks, for example leading to low flows or floods. Water physical stocks show how climate changes can impact on our environment, its ecosystems, and ultimately our lifestyles.
