- Summary
- This report considers the potential effects of the proposed Kāpiti Water Supply Project known as the River Recharge with Groundwater Option (RRwGW). Specifically, it considers the worst case scenario for this project known as Scenario 4. This option will result in lowering of groundwater levels during peak demand by up to 1.5 m, though typically it will be in the order of 0.1 m to 0.5 m.
