Surface Water Zone: Whangamoa Water Management Zone

The Whangamoa Water Management Zone includes the Whangamoa and its main tributaries the Collins and Graham Streams and Dencker Creek. There are currently no consented water takes from the Whangamoa catchment. Land use in the catchment is predominantly production forest and low density livestock farming.

Regional councils collect information about how much water is available and manage resource consents for those wishing to take water from rivers and streams. Use the buttons below to view information on: how much water is available, where it comes from and how its used.

    The table above shows the amount of water that is available for use compared to the amount that has been consented. The ‘Total Consented’ and ‘Total Consented and Measured’ fields are based on percentages of the ‘Total available to Consent’ field. If this field is not populated no data will be displayed. Some consents require actual use to be monitored and this is presented as 'Total measured volume Used' where available.

    The consent data provided by Nelson City Council on water allocation and use is based on the best information at the time. Work is underway to improve the data management of regional consents but in the meantime the data has been manually collated and not all variables are available for all consents. Where necessary, maximum rates have been derived from maximum daily or weekly volumes and vice versa. Similarly, annual water use amounts for some consents have been derived from average rates over all or part of a year. Work is underway to better understand the amount of groundwater available but at this stage that data is unavailable.

    The above table shows the proportion of water consented for irrigation, industrial, stock, town supply and other. It excludes hydro electricity. In this region/management zone {{hydroUsage.totalVolume}} m3/year is consented for hydro-electricity and makes up {{hydroUsage.percentageConsented}}% of the total water volume consented for this region/management zone
