Activity 2: The Black Drain
Use Google to help you find two other polluted rivers in New Zealand.
On your blog, tell us:
1) The names of the rivers.
2) The location of the rivers.
3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything).
Manawatu river, located in Manawatu-Wanganu, •
Reduce sediment runoff from erosion, roads and areas of major earthworks
• Reduce nutrient and bacteria in the river from point source discharges• Reduce runoff from intensive land-uses such as dairy farming and horticulture
• Prevent over-allocation of river water
• Protect habitats for native birds and fish and enable movement between these areas.
• Reduce the impacts of flood control and drainage on the natural processes of the river
Hi Laki,
ReplyDeleteGreat job on completing this activity! Well done on finding a polluted river in New Zealand and coming up with ideas to clean it. It's sad that rivers like the Manawatu river are full of rubbish. Keep up the excellent work.
