Waterways

How safe our our Waterways?

Recently we traveled to the Omaru River and heard how polluted it was. 100 years ago, you could swim in the river, drink the water from the river and eat from the river. What can we do today to fix the river? If this is your project, look at the resources below.

Key Focus questions:

• What waterways do we have in our community?

• Why is water important?

• Why do we need to protect our waterways?

• What are groups/organisations/people doing to protect our waterways?

If you think of any other questions, check with your teacher.
