	Scoop: Change to Waipara groundwater zone available water
		The first order limit was 16.8 million cubic metres per year, adopted in January 2004 and was based on 15 percent of the mean annual rainfall over the zone together with an estimate of the recharge contribution from streams in the zone.
		The predominant reason for the decrease is a result of a detailed analysis of climate and soil data that has shown a lower proportion of rainfall recharge, approximately 52 percent less than the estimate on which the first order limit was based.
		The amount of water currently allocated for use from the Waipara groundwater zone sits at 7.3 million cubic metres per year and therefore the zone status changes to yellow (in other words, actual allocation is greater than 80 percent of water available for irrigation, but less than 100% of the allocation limit).
