Land Use and Environment

Most of the land in White Hut is set aside for "water protection." This means it's managed to keep the underground water sources clean. These water sources, called groundwater basins, are quite close to the surface.

Protecting Water Sources

The main goal of the "water protection" zoning is to make sure the groundwater stays safe. This is important because many people and farms rely on this water. Special rules help prevent pollution.

What You Can Do There

Even with water protection, certain activities are allowed. These include "broadacre cropping," which is farming large fields of crops. "Grazing" is also common, where animals like sheep or cattle eat grass. You might also see "wind farms" here, which are groups of tall turbines that use wind to create electricity.
