Hydrological research annual reportReview: The Ministry of Works has established a network of experimental basins to study the hydrological characteristics of important soil - vegetation complexes of New Zealand. The effect of cultural changes on these characteristics has also been studied. Camp Stream is a small tributary of the Waimakariri River, North Canterbury. The Camp Stream basin was chosen for hydrological study primarily because of its suitable size, convenient location and ease of access, the existence of potential gauging sites (unusual in greywacke country) and the fact that it is reasonably representative of extensive areas of eastern South Island mountain country. The study was carried out to determine the hydrological benefits, if any, of the restoration of good cover conditions, starting from a state of slight to moderate (grassland) and severe (forest) depletion, soil erosion, and consequent stream channel aggradation.
