Good morning, and thank you for inviting me to speak to you today – and thank you for your hospitality and company last night.
The effective management of water quality and availability is a priority for this Government. Water is fundamental to our economic development and the New Zealand way of life. The range of uses and values in water is broad and together we face the challenge of meeting these needs now and for the future.
In May, you heard about the Government’s decisions on water. The Sustainable Water Programme of Action Ministerial Advisory Group is now up and running and will meet later this month. Jim Anderton and I will report back to Cabinet in March next year on progress with the Programme.
We’re also working towards launching the Water Awareness Campaign later this month. While New Zealanders love their water bodies, not everyone understands the importance of acting now to manage them sustainably. Last night I was glad to be able to give you a sneak preview of the campaign, and the feedback seems positive.
There's plenty for us to do before March next year, and collaborative events like this forum help give focus and impetus to our work.
We will get the best results through collaboration and partnership. In March you heard from the Prime Minister at the Central Government – Local Government Forum about the fundamental role local government has in working alongside central government to achieve the strategic goals of economic transformation; families young and old; and building national identity. Effective water management is integral to achieving these goals.
Jim Anderton talked last night about the importance of, and in some cases, urgency for water management to evolve with changing economic and environmental circumstances. The Sustainable Water Programme of Action is about working with local government to reach a common understanding on how we can achieve a more integrated and flexible management framework for water.
It’s not about changing the good work that councils are already doing – it’s about endorsing and supporting it. This forum is part of achieving a strong working relationship with you – we are committed to making it work.

hi!!!
ur answer

✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
"Thousands have lived without love, not one without water."
the sentence very relevant to this world.
Water resources are sources of water that are useful or potentially useful to humans.
It is important because it is needed for life to exist.
Many uses of water include agricultural, industrial, household, recreational and environmental activities.
Virtually all of these human uses require fresh water.
Only 2.5% of water on the Earth is fresh water, and over two thirds of this is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
Water demand already exceeds supply in many parts of the world, and many more areas are expected to experience this imbalance in the near future.
It is estimated that 70% of world-wide water use is for irrigation in agriculture.
Climate change will have significant impacts on water resources around the world because of the close connections between the climate and hydrologic cycle.
Due to the expanding human population competition for water is growing such that many of the worlds major aquifers are becoming depleted.
Many pollutants threaten water supplies, but the most widespread, especially in underdeveloped countries, is the discharge of raw sewage into natural waters.
