Groundwater Zones - Groundwater for the Upper Ruamahanga over 30m 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 (PolicyR.P2) and rules (Rules R.R1-R.R3) for rivers and groundwater allocation that are mapped in Figure 7.4 of the Plan for the upper Ruamahanga catchment. This feature class and its companion layers show groundwater below a depth of 30 meters with allocation amounts given in Table 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.
