Abstract

Waikato Regional Council developed a GIS model to manage water allocation and establish where there are, or are likely to be, adverse effects on the environment from the taking of water for permitted and reasonable needs.

This report details the model development and provides a summary of regional surfact water use by permitted a s14(3)(b) water take activities.
