Nature-Based Solutions Investigation - Ōroua and Pohangina Rivers
Nature-Based Solutions Investigation - Ōroua and Pohangina Rivers
This page covers work done by Horizons Regional Council and partners as part of a feasibility
study looking at nature-based river management practices for the Ōroua and Pohangina rivers. You can learn more about flood protection in the Horizons Region
here
.
In July 2023, Horizons was granted $300,000 from the Ministry for the Environment, through Nature Based Solutions for Resilience Planning, to conduct a feasibility study looking at if management practices such as channel symmetry, alignment and confinement are still relevant, and to further explore the concept of mobility corridors for the Ōroua and Pohangina rivers.
The study is based on the Room for the River Guidelines, with guidance from the Governance Group and information from a range of sources.
