One Lane Bridge

The premise underlying season 2 is not realistic. The concept that a group is planning to 'drain the river' a major river near Queenstown and is likely to get consent is pretty stupid. There is absolutely no way this would be allowed or even considered under NZ law. To give you an idea of how far off the mark this idea is one of the most recent decisions around water use for a major river took 10 years of hearings and the decision was that water could only be taken off the river in times of high flow and the consent was granted with about 200 conditions to protect the environment. It is extremely difficult to get consent, there are lots of conditions and the river flow and habitat has to be protected. If you overlook the fact that the writers haven't done their research on this idea then its quite an interesting drama.
