The following illustration sets out how the freshwater management system would work in practice. It emphasises the iterative process needed when communities, iwi/Māori and councils are setting freshwater objectives and limits, with full consideration of the impacts of their decisions.
The following three chapters discuss proposed reforms which relate to different aspects in the process. These are identified below to help you understand how each proposed reform fits with the overall freshwater management process.
A larger version of the illustration is included on the inside back cover of this paper.
