Water abstraction permits
Section 14 of the RMA stipulates that no person may take, use, dam or divert any water, unless the activity is
expressly allowed for by a resource consent or a rule in a regional plan, or it falls within some particular
categories set out in Section 14. Permits authorising the abstraction of water are issued by the Council
under Section 87(d) of the RMA.

1.1.9 Irrigation systems
In general there are two types of irrigation methods; surface and pressurised. The
majority of irrigation systems currently in operation in the province fall in to the
pressurised category. Pressurised systems can be further differentiated based on the
method of operation and equipment used. A summary of the systems encountered in
the region and some of their advantages and disadvantages are summarised below:
