+% Dairy farming has recently expanded in the Waiwhetu region, providing
+% a boost to the local economy. To cope with the increased milk
+% production, a dairy company is proposing to set up a new factory. The
+% factory will be located close to the Waiwhetu River, the region’s main
+% waterway. To operate the new factory, the proponents want to take
+% water from the river and discharge wastewater from the plant back into
+% the waterway.
+% 
+% There is already a dairy factory in the area producing milk products.
+% The factory has existing discharge permits which are not up for review
+% for another 10 years. At present, it uses 10,000 cubic metres of water
+% from the river and discharges the same amount into the waterway. The
+% wastewater is two degrees celsius warmer than the temperature of the
+% river.
+% 
+% Many prominent people are welcoming the growth of dairying in the
+% region and believe the new factory will bring more jobs to the area.
+% However, others are concerned about the potential environmental
+% impacts of the development. Environment groups and iwi argue water
+% quality is already being affected by waste generated from local farms
+% and want to see the river cleaned up.
+% 
+% Note: Waiwhetu is a fictitious region
