I do not agree with the fear propaganda re Covid-19 but if you study the Three Waters proposal and you with really think Covid-19 is like the common cold. The worst piece of proposed law / drafted law you will read written by the Govt Maori caucus for their own benefit. It is apartheid . Three waters legislation. I visited timaru last week where they are anti the proposed legislation. Well it seems some of those who live in town may be changing their views after 3 weeks of heavily discoloured water and tankers being trucked in daily with clean water for anyone who wants to collect it. Same town which they said won an award for top quality water a month before.You have to laugh. Apparently it took them quite some time to work out the cause,which they ultimately discovered was too much manganese. I'm not an expert on fertilisers,but isn't that a key element in maximising milk production in dairy cows. Chief may know more about fertilisers and leaching given his background.

Prevents milk fever and grass staggers. A couple of glasses of tap water when leaving the Timaru local might make for a straighter walk or drive home. The Timaru townwater source won't be dairy farming. Probably coming from the ground water and rock formations. Might be happening now because drawing water from deeper wells or something. Problem elsewhere in NZ too. Three Waters won't eliminate those issues. More than likely make them worse and increase the cost of water. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you know more about it than i,but there is so much dairying down that way now you can see how some could draw the connection to a problem they didn't use to have. Apparently the council is hoping engineering work will 'increase the level of natural filtration by the river bed prior to the water reaching the intake". So sounds like it flows through a river at some stage. Edited January 22, 2022 by the galah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest source is rocks that are also heavy in iron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said you make things up.Not sure what that comment is supposed to mean and won't spend any time working that out. Like i said i am no expert on fertilisers but i thought manganese levels can be effected by the use of fertilisers. If you goggle it,it says if the levels are too high you add lime or farmers could try waterlogging.And if they are too low,milk production will be reduced.But i'm not going to tell you whats right or wrong because as i said ,you know more about it than me.

Ok I can't imagine farmers in South Canterbury would apply manganese fertiliser as unlike some soils it isn't deficient there. Manganese would be more efficiently given as a feed supplement at those times in the dairy cycle that cows needed it most. Contrary to some environmental activists views farmers don't throw fertiliser and chemicals in gay abandon on their paddocks. That approach is costly and inefficient.
