Groundwater Zones - Groundwater for the Lower Ruamahanga over 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 and groundwater allocation that are mapped in Figures 7.9 of the Plan for the lower Ruamahanga catchment. This feature class and its companion layers show groundwater below a depth of 20 meters with allocation amounts given in Tables 7.1-7.3 in Rule R.R1. Policy R.P2 set 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.
