Throw all this into the pot, long term, and where does that leave our children and grandchildren from Taupo thru to Albany in 30yrs? The waikato becomes a trickle, a stream....Bar and lower river silts up... |

Auckland has the lowest residential water use per capita in New Zealand. Water is a National not a regional resource. |
