Wai Care
Wai Care is a community-based water quality monitoring and action programme. Community groups and schools can be resourced and supported to monitor a stream or water body of their choice on a regular basis. This means that along with learning about all the interactions that occur within the environment, the groups can build up a picture of the health of their stream. Using this information, they can then plan appropriate actions to restore or enhance their local stream environment.
A key concept of the programme is learning about, and looking after, the effects that land uses have on water, wherever they occur (stormwater, ground water, stream water or salt water).
