1) The names of the rivers.
2) The location of the rivers.
3) What is being done to clean up the rivers (if anything).
River 1: A news article said that in Auckland that %23 of rivers were swimable and %97 of lakes were swimable. To help clean up the rest of the rivers and lakes they have made a start by putting up fences around rivers and planting around them to.
River 2: Another News Article said that in Northland %24 of rivers were swimable and %67 of lakes were swimable. They are also putting up fences and planting lots of plants to help in Northland.
Hi Bridget
ReplyDeleteIt's Allie from the SLJ Team. Great to see that you are making your way through the activities. You are doing a great job.
It is quite amazing that not all rivers in New Zealand are swimable. I would have thought that the percentages would be higher than that. We take for granted that we can just swim in the rivers and that they are clean and healthy.
It is great that people are thinking about the environment and planting trees to help. The fences will also help to keep out unwanted animals and things.
I hope that you are having a great holiday so far and have done some fun things. The holidays are going so fast that you will be back at school before you know it.
Well done Bridget, Keep up the great work!
Until next time
Allie :)
