Surface Water Zone: Unnamed Catchment 10

Unnamed Catchment 10 is comprised of a series of small springs with the headwaters beginning just 2.4 kilometres from the coast. The catchment is located south of Patea and has a catchment area of 5.4 kilometres square.

There is currently only one consent to take surface water from three different farm ponds for the purpose of constructed related activities.

    The table above shows the average amount of rainfall the water management zone receives each year and how much of that flows out to sea. These are approximate figures only.

    Total allocated volume includes consented use only and no allowance has been made for 'permitted' use volumes.

    Due to the large number of streams and rivers in Taranaki, there has not been thorough investigations into all of the streams. The available water is ascertained as and when required for consenting requirements and investigations. However the Regional Freshwater Plan states that a minimum of two-thirds habitat at mean annual low flow is to be retained to protect the life-supporting capacity of the stream/river.

    The Council is currently reviewing the Regional Freshwater Plan and when this is implemented allocation limits will be included.
