If his claim was true , the rivers/lakes would have been unswimable since pre-humans in NZ Perhaps its the Nats that need a cull, not the birds . Theres enough BS in the rivers, we dont need more coming out his mouth . Cleaning the world's water: 'We are now more polluted than we have ever been' www.theguardian.com Not true. Just look at Euro rivers & air quality 100-500years ago compared to now. en.wikipedia.org |

Ken I don't know where your water is sourced Kenj, but our Auckland water is pure and tasteless. Quote: Auckland’s water supply is obtained from three different sources: dams, rivers and underground aquifers. The exact proportion of water supply from each source varies daily depending on the levels in the storage lakes, forecast rainfall, treatment plant capacity, maintenance requirements and transmission costs. Auckland’s dams are located mainly in the Hunua and Waitakere ranges; together they supply around 80 per cent of the region’s drinking water. Even our local sewage plant is odourless, and non-english reading visitors have been known to go swimming in the associated lake! :horrified Presumably WaterCare treats all water sources the same, and we reside in the 80% bracket, so maybe you are in the 20% 'underground aquifer & river' bracket. Cheers Billy 8-{) :confused: |

| 1424540 | 2016-09-02 06:38:00 | 1101: Certainly great effort has gone into cleaning up the river Thames. It is probably cleaner now than it has been for hundreds of years, and the lower reaches since maybe before Roman times. The River Trent and Tame tributary have also undergone radical cleanup during the last 30 odd years. The reduction in industry in the Potteries and Birmingham, and improvements in sewage treatment have been major factors. en.wikipedia.org "Where there's a will, there's a way"............but in this country the will isn't there, not whilst we have politicians in a state of denial that there is any problem. |
