How Mauri can improve Groundwater and Aquifer management.
Mauri Compass Assessment of the Makauri Aquifer.  As part of the Managed Aquifer Recharge project.  Gisborne District Council.

This Report forms the substance of a matauranga Maori assessment (Ministry for the Environment, 2017) of the Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) pilot and its potential impact on the mauri of the Makauri Aquifer. Te Aitanga a Mahaki used the Mauricompass.com framework (Rainforth & Harmsworth, 2019) to assess tangata whenua values of the aquifer and the Waipaoa river.

The mauri of both the river and aquifer were assessed and the results identified the extremely degraded state of mauri and the factors towards the cumulative decline (Land, Air, Water Aotearoa, 2019).

The effects on tangata whenua and their role as kaitiaki and recommendations to restore the mauri of these significant waterbodies are also provided.
