Groundwater Zones - Groundwater Zones Upper Hutt Tables Tables 8.2 8.3

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 8 (Wellington Harbour and Hutt Valley Whaitua) contains Policies (WHW.P1, WHW.P2) and Rules (WHW.R1-R4) for river and groundwater management that is mapped in section 8.3 (Figures 8.1-8.3) of the Plan. This feature class and its companion layers show rivers with minimum flows and rivers and groundwater zones with allocation amounts. The numerical quantities for minimum flows and allocation amounts are given in tables 8.1-8.3 in Rule WHW.R1. The policies (HWH.P1 & HWH.P2) set out the criteria for identifying minimum flows and allocation amounts. The rationale for minimum flows, lake levels and allocation amounts with the relevant numerical limits are discussed in the following reports: Thompson, M.( 2014), Minimum flow recommendations for the Wellington region: Technical report to support the draft Regional Plan.Greater Wellington Regional Council, Publication No. GW/ESCI-T-14/62, Wellington.Thompson, M. & Mzila, D.
