3481 AM92-01 ahuriri estuary management plan
Publication Date: 1 September 1992
Publication Number: 3481
Well before the Hawke's Bay Catchment Board became been involved in the Poukawa Drainage
District there has been debate on the shrinkage of the peat soils that surround the lake, the effect this has
had on flood behaviour, wildlife habitats and agricultural production, and the best methods to reconcile
the interests of the parties involved. The level of debate on the issue varied over the years with events
coming to a head about a decade ago with the development of the proposed Stage II ImprovementScheme
and subsequent Water Right (s). A persual of the literature does highlight the fact that the issues have
been discussed without much in the way of "detailed scientific" supporting evidence. This has perhaps
lead to the history of the protracted debate this area has generated.

This Water & Soil Resource Management Plan (W.S.R.M.P.) is
designed to ensure the long term wise management of the water
and soil resources of the Tukituki River Catchment. There is
no statutory responsibility to prepare this plan. However, it
fills an important educational role for land and water users
and planning authorities. The plan also sets out methods by
which the Board can implement its statutory responsibilities
under the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941 and the
Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967. These two Acts require
the Board to make provision for the following:-
a. conservation of soil resources and prevention of damage
to property by erosion;
b. increased protection of property from flooding;
c. promotion and control of land drainage;
d. promotion of conservation and beneficial uses of water;
e. allocation of natural water;
f. maintenance of water quality standards;
g. promotion and control of the multiple use of water;
h. preservation and protection of the wild, scenic and
other natural characteristics of rivers, streams and
lakes.
