Abstract
This report summarises the relevant New Zealand and international literature regarding the methods used to assess river values. It was compiled at the request of Ken Hughey, Lincoln University, to inform the Significance assessment method for river values project currently being undertaken in New Zealand (as a FRST-funded Envirolink project). Throughout the report, this project is often referred to as ‘the current project’.
The literature search was conducted in January 2009 and consisted of a thorough search of the Lincoln University library, online databases available at Lincoln University (namely Web of Knowledge and Science Direct), and the online search engine googlescholar. Known websites that were likely to have relevant reports were also searched: Environment Canterbury, National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), and Ministry for the Environment.
