Abstract

The Waikato region contains approximately 70 per cent of the nation’s geothermal resources. Waikato Regional Council is responsible for sustainable management of the regional geothermal resource. Waikato Regional Council is required under Resource Management Act 1991 S35 to monitor, keep records, and report on the state of the environment, including the regional geothermal resource.

For state of the environment reporting, this report provides an overview of the state and trends in the nature, extent, and condition of the regional geothermal resource, assessed against the DPSIR framework (Drivers, Pressures, State, Impact and Response model).
