Scenario questions
Group 1
1a If you were able to do anything you want with the water from your consent, how would this change what you do?
2a If you had absolute certainty that the consent wasn't going to be changed for as long as you hold it, how would this affect what you do?
3a If you knew with certainty that the consent was yours forever (like a freehold title) how would this affect what you do?
4a If the consent could easily be sold, leased or transferred to another party, how would this affect what you do? What about if you could sell or lease part of it if you wanted to?
5a If you knew that your access to the water wasn't going to be affected by others - such as new users getting consents or illegal takes - how would this affect what you do?
Group 2
1b If the water right was tied to a single specific use, how would this affect you?
2b If you knew that there was a high likelihood that the consent could be changed against you at any time, how would this affect what you do?
3b If you knew that the consent was yours for only the next 10 years and then would go up for grabs by anyone, how would this affect what you do?
4b If the consent could not be transferred to anyone else other than on your property, how would this affect what you do? What about if it could not be transferred when the property was sold?
5b If you knew that your access to the water could be affected by new users or illegal takes, how would this affect what you do?
