Electronic Publication:Abundance and Constraint: A Short History of Water Use in New Zealand. by: Garry Law
2008 61 pp ISBN 978-0-473-13754-0
New Zealand has an abundance of water but still there has been conflict over its use. Maori managed water and asserted their right to its use particularly for fishing. Colonists soon came into conflict with Maori over water, disrupting traditional fishing through rafting logs, introducing new species and using waterways for wastes. Water was an important early source of power in colonial New Zealand used for milling a variety of products and in hydraulic mining. Gold mining was intimately connected to early hydroelectric development, a use which came to have the most profound effects on New Zealand's waterways. The Law followed the different forms of use of water as they developed. Through mining contamination many rivers were declared sludge canals and their banks taken into Crown ownership - the Queens Chain - to prevent court actions by the adjoining owners. Wetlands have been much affected by development and there is a sad list of lost or endangered waterbird species. Despite a long history of disputes over allocation New Zealand's Law on water allocation is little developed.

Climate Change Business Conference
The 4th Australia-New Zealand Climate Change Business Conference will be held on 18-20 August 2008 at the SKYCITY Convention Centre in Auckland, New Zealand. The program for 2008 will again focus on risks and opportunities posed to business by climate change. Emissions trading, both regulated and voluntary, will certainly be a focus, as will other complementary measures to drive emissions reductions.
