Figure 5 - Lake Horowhenua Project, as part of the Freshwater Improvement Fund
The Lake Horowhenua Project was granted up to $842,750 to support a range of projects, including shallow groundwater monitoring and implementing two cultural monitoring programme efforts. The focus for the funding is on stormwater management and to increase cultural and scientific information to assess the movement and quality of groundwater within the catchment. The funding will also contribute towards establishing a silt interceptor and complement the Lake Horowhenua Accord’s main aims of addressing toxic algal blooms, sedimentation, reducing nutrients entering the lake, and improving native fish habitat.
