Human Impacts

This section of Take Action for Water introduces students to the ways in which human activities impact on the health of our catchments. Throughout this section students, as ‘kaitiaki’, are encouraged to consider how they might enhance the ‘mauri’ of the environment.

Students participate in a scenario which gives them the opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding to solve environmental issues around catchment health and management.
