The Council is in the process of determining water management zones and allocation limits. Draft zones and proposed allocation limits will be circulated for community consultation in July 2016. To enable meaningful reporting of water allocation and use, the surface water zones have been initial drafted based on the source to sea catchments and geographical grouping of the small coastal catchments. The Groundwater management zones are currently the based on the management boundaries of Northlands main aquifers.
