Water management leaking through the cracks
A report card on the state of water infrastructure in New Zealand shows that management of one of New Zealand's most valuable assets, water, is only "adequate", at best, and that significant improvements are required to bring New Zealand's water services up to world's best practise.
The independent analysis commissioned by the New Zealand Council for Infrastructure Development and undertaken by professional services consultant GHD and advisory experts Pricewaterhouse Coopers gave New Zealand a mediocre "C" pass for the quality of its potable, stormwater and wastewater systems. It was released publicly at the New Zealand Water and Wastes Association annual conference in Christchurch today.
Copies of the report The National Water Industry 2008 Report Card and Roadmap are available for download at NZCID's web site
