The function of this report is to identity the direction for future work and the methods and
potential funding avenues to allow the landowners to carry out their own conservation
programme. It must be stressed however that this is not a management plan and as such
does not address the full range of issues associated with the lake but it does address soil
erosion, sustainable land use, water quality and quantity.

This report reviews progress on the latest upgrading phase of the
Heretaunga Plains Scheme, a phase that commenced in the early 1980's with the start of the reconstruction of the Ngaruroro stopbanks and the upgrading of internal drainage systems. This upgrading, commenced after the 1980 floods demonstrated the weakness of the existing system, received further impetus with Cyclone Bola and the September 1988 floods after which the scope of the stopbank upgrading segment of the scheme was extended to cover the stopbanks of the Tutaekuri and the Tukituki rivers on the
Heretaunga Plains. In response to the extended construction time likely to be involved, a risk based priority was adopted for the sequence of works.

3481 AM92-01 ahuriri estuary management plan
Publication Date: 1 September 1992
Publication Number: 3481
Well before the Hawke's Bay Catchment Board became been involved in the Poukawa Drainage
District there has been debate on the shrinkage of the peat soils that surround the lake, the effect this has
had on flood behaviour, wildlife habitats and agricultural production, and the best methods to reconcile
the interests of the parties involved. The level of debate on the issue varied over the years with events
coming to a head about a decade ago with the development of the proposed Stage II ImprovementScheme
and subsequent Water Right (s). A persual of the literature does highlight the fact that the issues have
been discussed without much in the way of "detailed scientific" supporting evidence. This has perhaps
lead to the history of the protracted debate this area has generated.

This Water & Soil Resource Management Plan (W.S.R.M.P.) is
designed to ensure the long term wise management of the water
and soil resources of the Tukituki River Catchment. There is
no statutory responsibility to prepare this plan. However, it
fills an important educational role for land and water users
and planning authorities. The plan also sets out methods by
which the Board can implement its statutory responsibilities
under the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Act 1941 and the
Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967. These two Acts require
the Board to make provision for the following:-
a. conservation of soil resources and prevention of damage
to property by erosion;
b. increased protection of property from flooding;
c. promotion and control of land drainage;
d. promotion of conservation and beneficial uses of water;
e. allocation of natural water;
f. maintenance of water quality standards;
g. promotion and control of the multiple use of water;
h. preservation and protection of the wild, scenic and
other natural characteristics of rivers, streams and
lakes.
