"Help us plan!"

Water Information Days

We would like to invite you to the Water Information Days that will be held in the South Western

District in April and May 2009.


The Draft River Basin Management Plan for the South Western River Basin District was published on

the 22nd December 2008. The plan sets out how we plan to manage our rivers, lakes, groundwaters

and coastal water to ensure their protection. We'd like to hear your views on what we've proposed for

the waters of the South Western District before the plan is finalised in December 2009.

So drop in and "Help us Plan" for the future of all our waters!
