IWI AT POROTI SPRINGS DISAPPOINTED AT WATER TAKE CONSENT RENEWALA decision to grant a replacement resource consent for groundwater take to provide for horticultural irrigation has angered local hapu in Poroti. NRC said the water take was unlikely to result in any adverse effects on groundwater users beyond a 500 metre radius. The nearest neighbouring bore is about 550 meters away and there has been no recorded issues with this take by other bore users, it said. Poroti Springs are of significant cultural value to local hapu, known as the Whatitiri Resource Management Unit, but NRC said Kohatu's water take was in an area of the aquifer that was outside the contributing groundwater zone for the spring and the Waipoa stream..... www.nzherald.co.nz/resource-management-act/news/article.cfm?c_id=303&objectid=12292508
