The Ministry for the Environment has published a draft agenda and action plan as part of the development of a national agenda for sustainable water management (NASWM). Comments on the proposals are sought and accepted until 25 February. The proposed action plan suggests a growing focus on issues surrounding groundwater abstraction and the impact on surface water. This is a particular issue in Canterbury with incessant demand for irrigation.
