These groundwater zones are delineated on the basis of hydrogeological properties, geomorphology, groundwater - surface water interaction, observed variations in groundwater quality and levels, surface water catchments, known geological unit and aquifer extents, and resource development.</SPAN></P></DIV>
Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;font-size:12pt"><P><SPAN>Southland’s physiographic zones allow us to better understand why we have variations in water quality in different areas. Southland has been divided into nine different zones according to factors such as soil type, geology and topography. We can then target solutions to higher risk areas as opposed to a region-wide, generalised approach. This layer was developed as part of the Water and Land 2020 & beyond project. </SPAN></P><P><SPAN>For more information and to download the fact sheets visit http://waterandland.es.govt.nz/southland-science/physiographic-zones</SPAN></P></DIV>
