The largest project to be funded this year is a continuation of the Waipā Catchment Plan implementation which will involve working with approximately 70 farmers and landowners within identified priority catchments. The $1.6 million of funding will work towards reducing sediment levels going into the Waipā River and its tributaries. Sediment from the Waipā River is a major factor in reducing the water quality in the lower Waikato River.
