Irrigator Info
Some pasture irrigation water permits require irrigation to cease when groundwater levels or river flows at particular reference sites are at a certain level.
Aquifer Pump Tests
Aquifer pump tests are a reliable, effective way of quantifying groundwater flow and determining aquifer properties at a particular location. A resource consent is required before undertaking an aquifer pump test if you are going to take more than 20m3 per day. You can apply for a consent at the same time you apply for your drilling permit if you wish. Download the factsheet for more information.
