A public opinion survey which will be used to determine what happens to water in Canterbury over the next 50 years  was recently distributed by the Canterbury Regional Council (ECan)


A number of MHPS members contacted the Society  seeking advice on how to  respond  to the 16 page booklet entitled: “Creating a sustainable future for Canterbury” which outlines 4 options for Managing Canterbury's Water.



The booklet (including submission form) can be found online here 'Canterbury Water Management Strategy'   under the name of   'public discussion document' (600kb pdf)
A slightly more in depth view is called 'discussion document long version' (1.3Mb pdf)

We urged members to respond by making a submission supporting  Option B.
