Interim report on the suitability of land for irrigation in the Manuherikia Valley, Central Otago, South Island, New Zealand

The area surveyed is broadly the entire Manuherikia Valley and consists of the area to the north of the Clutha River as far as St Bathans. The valley is bounded to the west by the Dunstan Mountains, to the east by the Raggedy Range and to the north by the Hawkdun Range. The irrigation suitability map for soils of the Manuherikia Valley was compiled by interpreting existing soil survey information and maps. In conjunction with existing soil survey information a considerable amount of field work was carried out by the authors.
