Groundwater Zones - Groundwater for the Middle Ruamahanga 20 to 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 (Policy R.P2) and Rules (R.R1-R.R3) for rivers and groundwater allocation that are mapped in Figure 7.6 of the Plan for the middle Ruamahanga catchment. This feature class and its companion layers show groundwater between 20 and 30 meters deep 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 minimum flows, lake levels and allocation amounts with the relevant numerical limits are discussed in the following reports: Thompson, M.
