Freshwater
The worsening state of New Zealand’s lakes and rivers is a major challenge for regional councils, which play a leading role in managing freshwater in their areas. To this end, regional councils create plans to protect water resources from contaminants and overuse.

Develop catchment plans to ensure river health from mountains to the sea.
Ensure responsible land use practices to reduce erosion and sedimentation that harms wildlife in rivers.
Restore wetlands to improve water quality through filtering pollutants from freshwater.
Expand riparian plantings adjacent to creeks and rivers to reduce sediment pollution and improve water quality.
See through the council initiative to install aerators in the Maitai Dam to improve water quality in the river.
Upgrade the older wastewater mains in the areas adjacent to the Maitai River to reduce inadvertent pollution.
Aim for all rivers to be drinkable before 2030. Only the quest for money causes significant harm to our waters.
Evolve beyond the need for money-driven exporting to ensure ample clean water for all our needs.
Move beyond capitalism and the corruption of everyone and everything.
