Groundwater Zones - Groundwater for the Lower Ruamahanga 0 to 20m Tables 7.3 7.4 7.5

Data has been created from hosted feature service (https://mapping.gw.govt.nz/arcgis/rest/services/GW/NRPMap_P_operative/MapServer). It has been shared to the Open Data Portal. Chapter 7 (Ruamahanga Whaitua) contains a policy (Policy R.P2) and rules (Rules R.R1-R.R3) for rivers, lakes (Lake Wairarapa) and groundwater allocation that are mapped in Figure 7.8 of the Plan for the lower Ruamahanga catchment. This feature class and its companion layers show the rivers and lakes (Lake Wairarapa) and groundwater to a depth of 20 meters in the lower Ruamāhanga catchment with allocation amounts given in Tales 7.3-7.5 in Rule R.R1. Policy R.P2 sets out the criteria for identifying allocation amounts. The rationale for allocation amounts with the relevant numerical limits are discussed in the following reports: Thompson, M.
