Free water tanks build resilience for remote Northland rural communities
❄
Almost 100 free water tanks have changed lives and built drought resilience for vulnerable, isolated rural communities in Northland.
The new tanks have been installed in response to the region’s 2019-20 drought, which exposed significant water poverty across Te Tai Tōkerau in vulnerable rural communities without access to public water supply. This resulted in the New Zealand Army being brought in to deliver water to communities without town water supply.
