Abstract

"The data analysis conducted here suggests a number of implications of population growth in Palmerston. Quantitative environmental data appears to be scarce; however anecdotal evidence does indicate that the population increase has and will continue to put pressure on the natural environment, due to increased gross potable water usage and further threats to vegetation communities, both through the encroachment of residential development, and practices such as garden waste dumping.,
