Dry Hutt River causing concern
❄
Wellington’s main water source – the Hutt River – is running at near record low flows, prompting one expert to question whether more water can be used to supply the cities.
Ecologist Dr Mike Joy, one of New Zealand’s leading freshwater experts, wants residents to think about the impact they are having on the Te Awa Kairangi/Hutt River every time they clean their car or water their lawn.
