Abstract
Severe drought in the recent summer of 2000/01 highlighted the significant
impact that water plays in the productive land based industries of the Tasman
district. Rationing of irrigation water reached an unprecedented level. This,
coupled with the Tasman District Councils proposed resource management
plan for water, questioned the efficient and equitable allocation of water for
irrigation.
The aims of this report are to gain an understanding of the resource and
associated issues, to determine future land uses changes, and to identify
barriers to change.
