  18. Slide 18: New Zealand Context

    New Zealand Context • Climate – Temperature and Rainfall • Country wide temperature increase. • Rainfall expected to fall in fewer higher intensity events. – Likely Impacts • Increase in drought due to greater evapotranspiration even if time between rainfall events remains unchanged. • Predictions s

  19. Slide 19: Water and Irrigation

    Water and Irrigation • Cost vs Reliability – Irrigators want very high reliability – but not well defined. – Cost of supply is not linear with volume. Last 20% of capacity can cost 50% of per volume charge. p g – Historical charging systems don’t reflect this incremental (marginal) cost of supply. –

  20. Slide 20: Water and Irrigation

    Water and Irrigation • Historical Approach – Bulk charging – everyone pays the same – Flood irrigation dominated. • Certainty vs Reliability – A high certainty of supply at any point in time is better than an overall reliability which may mean extended periods of no supply supply. – More emphasis sh
