Environmental indicators

Waikato Regional Council's environmental indicators summarise complex information about our environment into key measures, which may be physical, chemical, biological or socio-economic.  Indicators help us to :

• report regularly on the state of the Waikato region’s environment and the pressures that affect it
• increase the awareness and understanding of environmental issues
• measure how well we are doing in achieving environmental goals
• prioritise environmental issues and improve decision-making.
