Water Allocation Calculator (WAC) Catchments and Aquifers - GIS Layer


File ID: 56D7908A-6443-4225-9E63-56D6025B3067
Hierarchy Level: dataset
Abstract: A variety of catchments throughout the Waikato Region.
Statement: * Catchments are either defined as upstream of known river flow gauges, catchments of specific Regional Plan allocable flow exceptions (Table 3-3) or specific areas of interest. All catchments have been primarily defined using the River Environment Classification (REC) watershed layer. These catchments have been delineated specifically for use with the Water Allocation Calculators. * Initially the “Water Allocation Calculator” dealt with just surface water catchments and calculations. In late 2009 two additional calculators were built. The first deals with ground water and included the definition of known aquifer areas; the second uses a subset of the surface water catchments and estimates hydro electric power generation capacity based on data within dam catchments. * The catchments (and aquifers) are purpose-built throughout the region including numerous attributes relating to water flows and estimated water use (consented and permitted). Calculated attributes are updated via a scheduled task that runs every 2 hours. A number of related or input layers exist including one for consented water takes (surface and ground) which feed data into the calculators. Similarly layers exist that assist with permitted use estimates as well as a detailed version of most catchment layers which contain additional attributes to the standard layer. * Applications: These calculators are primarily designed as a means of assessing current and future water takes in conjunction with Q5 levels. They provide a current understanding of water availability within identified catchments and directly assist consents staff to assess whether a water take application is likely to be approved based on the calculated attributes. The consents data (applications and authorisations) and the catchment tallies are freely shared with other organisations. * General Notes For further information about the NIWA River Environment Classification layer see EWDOCS# 935413, or www.niwa.co.nz/ncwr/rec. Metadata document# 2871782 describes the Authorisations and Applications layers that are used in conjunction with catchments and aquifers in the calculators. For further information about the water allocation process contact the dataset administrator. For information concerning water takes and discharges see the Resource Use Group, or section 3.3.4.10 and Variation 6 of the Proposed Regional Plan. * Related Information: This data has been derived using the NIWA REC dataset. This dataset has been derived using a 30 m DEM. The derived catchments will have a blocky outline as a result, and are not necessarily as “clean” looking or accurate as those digitised from NZMS260 series maps. It has been purposely left this way so that the feature/layer can be used with a proposed ad-hoc catchment modelling process. * Related WRC Documents: EWDOCS# 2331061 Water Allocation Calculator Operations Guide EWDOCS# 1219787 WRC Technical Report 2007/47 - A Model for Assessing the Magnitude of Unconsented Surface Water Use in the Waikato Region.

Hierarchy Level: feature Hierarchy Level Name:feature of Water Allocation Calculator (WAC) Catchments and Aquifers - GIS Layer
Abstract: This layer is populated with the results of a model to estimate non-consented water allowance for ground water catchments being taken under the RMA. The estimated number of properties and Agribase farms per catchment are analysed and used to estimate the amount of water per catchment used under the permitted water use model (by people and stock). Non Spatial.
Statement: Permitted ground water estimates to support the ground water component of the Water Allocation calculator.
Other Information: Geographic Extent: Waikato Region, plus any catchments that extend beyond the legal boundary of the Region. Projection and Co-ordinates: Data is stored in NZTM. Positional Accuracy: Catchments have been primarily derived using the River Environment Classification (REC) watersheds (see EWDOC# 935413 for further information about the REC). REC watersheds are based upon a 30m digital elevation model. See the REC metadata for positional accuracy of this source data. Downstream ends of catchments are matched to the nearest REC reach. This may mean in some cases that the downstream extent of a catchment extends past the point of flow measurement. If this occurs the extension is generally less than 10 meters. Aquifers are approximated from topographic maps and other source data. Spatial accuracy is unknown but aquifers are not intended for analysis at close-up scales. Period and Frequency of Record: The initial set of catchments for use with the Water Allocation Calculator was derived between July 2004 and July 2005. Catchments are added, deleted or modified as required over time. August 2007: Present "Common Catchments" (sub-region and expiry dates) in their own GIS layer; as defined in Chapter 3 Table 3-3, Waikato Regional Plan Proposed Variation 6, p.15, EWDOCS-#1102641. September, November 2007: Various catchments added by EdB and BryanC on behalf of Cameron King (RUG), including West Coast catchments required for proposed wind farm. November 2007, February 2008: Significant Coromandel catchments added; includes upland/lowland differentiation as per Waikato Regional Plan Variation 6, EWDOCS-#1102641. November 2009: Data and scripts built to support ground water and hydro power calculators. Additional attributes stored against catchments. For a complete up to date list of attributes refer to EWDOCS-#1401511-Water Allocation Calculator - Geomedia user guide. February 2010: Groundwater and Hydro Power calculators and supporting layers were built; discrete version of allocation catchments was built. 2013-2014: Versions of most layers were created to reflect that data are derived from IRIS which has superseded RUAMS. Note that catchment and aquifer geometry or design has not changed but some attribute changes will have occurred reflecting the new IRIS data model. Data Quality: The spatial accuracy of the catchments is determined by the REC used to derive them. See EWDOC# 935143 for further information about the spatial accuracy of the catchments. Attribute Accuracy: All calculated values are dependent on accurate data being stored in the IRIS application for Surface water takes. Values used in the WAC scripts for these fields are read directly from IRIS. Other attributes are as supplied and quality assured by Waikato Regional Council staff (RIG). Completeness: This dataset is complete as at this date. New catchments may be added in the future, and amendments/deletions to current catchments may also occur. Logical Consistency: High Data form and digital format as a layer in Waikato Regional Council’s GIS / Oracle database. Applications: These calculators are primarily designed as a means of assessing current and future water takes in conjunction with Q5 levels. They provide a current understanding of water availability within identified catchments and directly assist consents staff to assess whether a water take application is likely to be approved based on the calculated attributes. The consents data (applications and authorisations) and the catchment tallies are freely shared with other organisations.

Hierarchy Level: feature Hierarchy Level Name:feature of Water Allocation Calculator (WAC) Catchments and Aquifers - GIS Layer
Abstract: This layer combines consented and permitted water takes to assess potential hydro power generation loss. It re-uses other WAC data and compares with 2006 baseline figures. Layer is current as at November 2015, however due for revision.
Statement:
Other Information: Geographic Extent: Waikato Region, plus any catchments that extend beyond the legal boundary of the Region. Projection and Co-ordinates: Data is stored in NZTM. Positional Accuracy: Catchments have been primarily derived using the River Environment Classification (REC) watersheds (see EWDOC# 935413 for further information about the REC). REC watersheds are based upon a 30m digital elevation model. See the REC metadata for positional accuracy of this source data. Downstream ends of catchments are matched to the nearest REC reach. This may mean in some cases that the downstream extent of a catchment extends past the point of flow measurement. If this occurs the extension is generally less than 10 meters. Aquifers are approximated from topographic maps and other source data. Spatial accuracy is unknown but aquifers are not intended for analysis at close-up scales. Period and Frequency of Record: The initial set of catchments for use with the Water Allocation Calculator was derived between July 2004 and July 2005. Catchments are added, deleted or modified as required over time. August 2007: Present "Common Catchments" (sub-region and expiry dates) in their own GIS layer; as defined in Chapter 3 Table 3-3, Waikato Regional Plan Proposed Variation 6, p.15, EWDOCS-#1102641. September, November 2007: Various catchments added by EdB and BryanC on behalf of Cameron King (RUG), including West Coast catchments required for proposed wind farm. November 2007, February 2008: Significant Coromandel catchments added; includes upland/lowland differentiation as per Waikato Regional Plan Variation 6, EWDOCS-#1102641. November 2009: Data and scripts built to support ground water and hydro power calculators. Additional attributes stored against catchments. For a complete up to date list of attributes refer to EWDOCS-#1401511-Water Allocation Calculator - Geomedia user guide. February 2010: Groundwater and Hydro Power calculators and supporting layers were built; discrete version of allocation catchments was built. 2013-2014: Versions of most layers were created to reflect that data are derived from IRIS which has superseded RUAMS. Note that catchment and aquifer geometry or design has not changed but some attribute changes will have occurred reflecting the new IRIS data model. Data Quality: The spatial accuracy of the catchments is determined by the REC used to derive them. See EWDOC# 935143 for further information about the spatial accuracy of the catchments. Attribute Accuracy: All calculated values are dependent on accurate data being stored in the IRIS application for Surface water takes. Values used in the WAC scripts for these fields are read directly from IRIS. Other attributes are as supplied and quality assured by Waikato Regional Council staff (RIG). Completeness: This dataset is complete as at this date. New catchments may be added in the future, and amendments/deletions to current catchments may also occur. Logical Consistency: High Data form and digital format as a layer in Waikato Regional Council’s GIS / Oracle database. Applications: These calculators are primarily designed as a means of assessing current and future water takes in conjunction with Q5 levels. They provide a current understanding of water availability within identified catchments and directly assist consents staff to assess whether a water take application is likely to be approved based on the calculated attributes.

Hierarchy Level: feature Hierarchy Level Name:feature of Water Allocation Calculator (WAC) Catchments and Aquifers - GIS Layer
Abstract: Layer contains catchments defined for use with WRC Water Allocation Calculator (WAC). Attributes include monthly totals of allocated water aggregated to catchments from IRIS authorisations and applications and includes ecological limits and modelled water usage.
Statement: These catchments were derived using the NIWA River Environment Classification (v1) watershed database as input. For cases where a catchment has been derived for static flow gauges, map references for each river flow gauge were collated from Environment Waikato’s Located application. The watershed that each gauge is located in was identified and recorded as the catchment start point. For other catchments (Regional Plan catchments and catchments of interest) start point reach ID’s were similarly recorded. All upstream watersheds were then identified using the REC supplied TNODE/FNODE relationship and the REC Tracer application. All upstream watersheds were merged to produce the single upstream watershed feature. The WAC script makes numerous calculations aggregating results to these catchments by using Oracle spatial queries with the Applications and Authorisations data from IRIS, GIS_ALL.ALLOC_IRIS_AUTH_TAKE_SEASONAL and GIS_ALL.ALLOC_IRIS_APPN_TAKE_SEASONAL (see Discover document# 1087095). For detail about the automated processes see Discover document# 1089431 (and #1337989 for the permitted water model). The process runs every four hours recalculating data from Council's live database. See Bryan Clements or the Database Administrator if you have any queries.
Other Information: Geographic Extent: Waikato Region, plus any catchments that extend beyond the legal boundary of the Region. Projection and Co-ordinates: Data is stored in NZTM. Positional Accuracy: Catchments have been primarily derived using the River Environment Classification (REC) watersheds (see EWDOC# 935413 for further information about the REC). REC watersheds are based upon a 30m digital elevation model. See the REC metadata for positional accuracy of this source data. Downstream ends of catchments are matched to the nearest REC reach. This may mean in some cases that the downstream extent of a catchment extends past the point of flow measurement. If this occurs the extension is generally less than 10 meters. Aquifers are approximated from topographic maps and other source data. Spatial accuracy is unknown but aquifers are not intended for analysis at close-up scales. Period and Frequency of Record: The initial set of catchments for use with the Water Allocation Calculator was derived between July 2004 and July 2005.

Applications: These calculators are primarily designed as a means of assessing current and future water takes in conjunction with Q5 levels. They provide a current understanding of water availability within identified catchments and directly assist consents staff to assess whether a water take application is likely to be approved based on the calculated attributes. The consents data (applications and authorisations) and the catchment tallies are freely shared with other organisations.

Attribute Information

NameDescriptionNotesRestrictedPrimary Key
ID Catchment ID Famous catchments are sometimes casually referred to with IDs, for example, Waikato River at CMA is 397 and Waikato River at Karapiro Dam is 227. N N
CATCH_DESC Catchment description, or full name N N
CATCH_GROUP The major river body group that the catchment is contributing to. N N
CATCH_SUBREGION Subregions that the catchment is in. Subregion is collection of catchment groups. N N
RP_TABLE_3_5_DESC Regional Plan Table 3-5 Description. This signifies which Table 3-5 item this catchment is associated to. Table 3-5 gives primary and secondary allocable flow percentages. N N
AREA_KM2 Catchment area in km2 N N
SITE_STATION_KEY The catchment outlet location ID N N
Q5_M3S Q5 estimate at the outlet of the catchment. N N
QUALITY_DESCRIPTION The derivation method for the Q5 and reliability of the Q5 estimate. N N
DATE_OF_Q5 The date that the Q5 was updated If the Q5 date is greater than 5 years old, science team needs to update it. N N
PRI_ALLB_M3S Primary allocable flow for the catchment m3/s This is calculated from the percentage value from Table 3-5. N N
SEC_ALLB_M3S Secondary allocable flow for the catchment m3/s This is calculated from the percentage value from Table 3-5. N N
TOT_PER_M3S Estimated Total Permitted Take Permitted takes are animal, human drinking water and any domestic takes smaller than 15 m3/d. They are not registered in our database individually, so the total is estimated based on head counts within the catchment. We have used the property and the Agribase data to achieve this. N N
DATA_SOURCE N N
TAG_24HOUR Some catchments has large enough river storage that attenuates the water take impacts in the river flow (typically catchments > 1000 km2) These catchments are tagged "24-hour", and the water allocation calculator code would summarise maximum daily water take rate limit, instead of maximum instantaneous rate limits. All smaller catchments that do not have this tag will be summarised with maximum instantaneous rate limits, which is more conservative (or stringent) way of accounting water takes. N N
REC_DOWNSTREAM_REACH_ID REC is a river network model and this is a technical field that associates the catchment to a REC reach This number signifies the river reach that the catchment outflow is contributing to. N N
REC_DIST_TO_SEA_M REC distance to sea in m This shows the river length distance between the outlet of the catchment to the sea. If this is zero, this means the catchment outflow is directly going out to the sea. N N
GEOMETRY N N
TAKE_INFO_UPDATED This field shows the time when the entry was updated If the timestamp is older than one or two days, we should contact the IT. This means the WAC stopped running. The update frequency is 4-hourly during business hours. No update gets done during the night or in weekend. N N
JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S January: sum of all authorisations, replacement apps, and permitted activity takes N N
JAN_SUM_TOT_M3S January: sum of JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S and all proposed application volumes. This is what the allocation would become if WRC grant all applications in the catchment. N N
JAN_PRI_TOT_AUTH_AVL_M3S January: available allocation headroom in primary allocable flow band, when you regard JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S as allocated. i.e. = PRI_ALLB_M3S - JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S. This signifies the allocation pressure based on current authorised takes only. N N
JAN_SEC_TOT_AUTH_AVL_M3S January: available allocation headroom in secondary allocable flow band, when you regard JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S as allocated. i.e. = PRI_ALLB_M3S + SEC_ALLB_M3S - JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S. This forecasts the allocation pressure based on current authorised takes only. N N
JAN_PRI_TOT_AVL_M3S January: available allocation headroom in primary allocable flow band, when you regard JAN_SUM_TOT_M3S as allocated. i.e. = PRI_ALLB_M3S - JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S This field forecasts what the allocation pressure will be if WRC grants all applications in the catchment. N N
JAN_SEC_TOT_AVL_M3S January: available allocation headroom in secondary allocable flow band, when you regard JAN_SUM_TOT_M3S as allocated. i.e. = PRI_ALLB_M3S + SEC_ALLB_M3S - JAN_SUM_AUTH_TOT_M3S This field forecasts what the allocation pressure will be if WRC grants all applications in the catchment.
