Rakaia irrigation
Sir,—ln reply to S. A. King (June 15), too much pumping could lower the water table and make it very costly. At worst salt water could come in from the sea, as in the San Jose Valley, California. We should take a ditch away from below the gorge bridge and pond dirty water in big ponds in the Te Pirita area. This would augment and conserve underground supplies, give jobs to some unemployed, and set up for more production in the future when we need it. It would make use of dirty water. — Yours, etc. W. G. LOGAN, Hororata. June 22, 1983.
