Redox characteristics of shallow groundwater in the Tararua Groundwater Management Zone

Abstract

We aimed to (i) develop a direct-push method to effectively sample groundwater from a wide range of geological settings; (ii) analyse chemical and physical characteristics of groundwater and determine their redox potential,; and (iii) identify the influence different catchment characteristics such as soil texture and drainage and rock types on groundwater chemistry and its redox characteristics across the Tararua GWMZ.
