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.
Illustrated with many historical
pictures.
