Environmental data at Horizons
Horizons Regional Council operates and maintains an environmental data monitoring network of more than 800 sites across the region, collecting river and rainfall data, air quality data and more.
River Management
Providing flood resilience to keep our communities safe is something we take very seriously, and which forms a major part of our business as a regional council. We do this through our river management programme, which allows us to help prevent floods and provide adequate land drainage where necessary.
