Projected effects of climate change on water supply reliability in Mid

The lack of a sufficiently reliable source of surface water for irrigation will limit the size of both the groundwater supplied irrigation area and the surface water supplied area, to a total area well short of the potentially irrigable area on the Canterbury Plains. Using stored surface water to pr ...
