Changes to the Otago Regional Council's water plan have brought in a "good" number of submissions from the public.
The council's proposal to make two changes to the Regional Plan: Water for Otago was opened up to public submissions before Christmas.
Change 1B proposed minimum flows for the Waianakarua River, Trotters Creek and Luggate Creek, and the second change, 1C, suggested new policies to guide how water was allocated.
Seventy-one submissions had been made towards the minimum flow change and 59 towards the water allocation and use change.
Resource planning director Fraser McRae said the submissions would now be summarised and go out for further submissions at the end of the month.
It was planned to hold hearings into the plan change mid-year.
