Granity

Granity is a small town on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island, 28 kilometres north-east of Westport on State Highway 67. Karamea is 68 kilometres further north. Squeezed between the often-tempestuous Tasman Sea to the west and steep forested cloud-shrouded mountains to the immediate east, the town is the largest in this sparsely populated part of New Zealand. Long known as a coal-mining town, the population has declined as the industry has waned.

The Ngakawau River is a river of the West Coast Region of New Zealand's South Island. It flows generally northwest, reaching the Tasman Sea at Hector. The river is polluted with acid mine drainage and coal fines from the Stockton Mine and the proposed Stockton Plateau Hydro Project is expected to reduce the levels of pollutants. The Ngakawau Riverwatch environmental group formed in 2001 to address the water pollution in the river.
