Our water webinar T1W08

G'day G'day,

Today about ten minutes ago we participated in a webinar about New Zealand's waterways.
I learnt that:

• That they are breeding animals that have less nitrogen in their dump.
• They have put lots of plants around the river which reduces the amount of soil that gets into it.
• Christchurch's groundwater will never run out, because it will keep on raining (or snowing) on the Alps.
