These reports contain preliminary Strategic Assessments against the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) Principles and Targets identified in the CWMS Strategic Framework (2009) document.
Each Strategic Assessment contains a unique project brief, set of assumptions and project team, with unique assessment methods, gradings and presentation techniques. For this reason, comparison of assessment gradings across the different reports is not appropriate.
These reports have already been sent to CWMS Committee members to assist with their role in recommending improvements to assessed options with respect to the CWMS Principles and Targets, and to refine the methods used for future assessments. The reports are now publicly available for wider discussion on these matters.
