Here is the link to a recently completed science report that provides some detailed maps of annual rainfall for the region. The maps provide at a 500m2 resolution, the rainfall for region based on interpolation between Horizons and NIWA long term rainfall sites. It is suggested that this information be used in place of previously generated rainfall isohyets for the region. The data is available as a GIS dataset.
Funded via Envirolink the report was generated as a part of the One Plan development process to provide rainfall inputs for nutrient management. However, the data has already been put to use by Jeff Watson in the flood modelling project.
This project was made possible through the efforts of many in the organisation, in particular Raelene Hurndell and Brent Watson have worked hard to coordinate this project with the NIWA climate team. If you have any questions about this project please do not hesitate to contact Raelene, Brent or Jon Roygard at Horizons Regional Council.
