Groundwater Zones - Groundwater for the Upper Ruamahanga 0 to 20 m Tables 7.3 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) and groundwater allocation that are mapped in Figure 7.2 of the Plan for the upper Ruamahanga catchment. This feature class and its companion layers show rivers and groundwater to a depth of 20 meters in the upper Ruamahanga catchment with allocation amounts given in Tables 7.3 and 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 report: Thompson, M.
