Intended UseThe Groundwater Quality Zones layer shows all zones with quality limits for the Canterbury region that have been defined in the Canterbury Land and Water Regional Plan (LWRP) and various regional plans. This layer compiles several zone types from different plans, including: groundwater provinces, groundwater allocation zones, nitrate management areas, sub regional areas, sub regional zones, and freshwater management units.Layers were digitised to cadastral accuracy (1:10,000 scale), but recommended use is at the 1:50,000 scale or smaller.For further information on plans and associated planning boundaries, please visit https://www.ecan.govt.nz/your-region/plans-strategies-and-bylaws/ and https://eplan.ecan.govt.nz/eplan/#/Property/0DisclaimerThis information is accurate to the best of Environment Canterbury’s knowledge and belief.
