In New Zealand, the Ministry for Environment has overall responsibility at a national level, with local/catchment responsibility devolved to local government (regional and unitary councils). In specific circumstances, water management decisions may be called back into central government’s jurisdiction (administered by the Environmental Protection Authority). Other responsibilities include the allocation of potable versus recycled or sea water sources for each sector, proposing quotas, policies, regulations, and tariffs for each sector (domestic, agriculture, and industry), and enforcing all regulations, quotas and tariffs.
