make a successful living while not bringing nature's anger
on himself, or on anyone downstream. He's ensuring soil
from his 2000ha Waitōtara Valley property does not erode
into waterways, where it would degrade water quality and
heighten flood risk. Roger's put up nearly 9km of fences to

six and seven year olds in Room 2 at St John
Bosco knew about wetlands and in particular
how a wetland acts like a sponge to absorb
water. Under the guidance of teacher Mrs Gail
Church, the class used a wide range of experi-
ments to show how this process happens, even
in periods of little or no rainfall.

What's wrong with nutrients in streams?
Nutrients, including the elements nitrogen and
phosphorus, are essential for plant growth and soil
biological activity. On land or of themselves, nutrients
are not a problem (only rarely will the concentration of
nutrients be such that it will result in ammonia toxicity).
The problem with excessive nutrient enrichment is how the
nutrients may affect the physicochemical and biological
condition of water once they escape or seep
