We are part of a much larger world movement for water quality, quantity and ecology values – to all be better protected for the future, in the face of accelerating industrial land uses and waste.

As you may know, a radical change of central government in 2008 led to the abrupt and unconstitutional seizure of ‘ECan’ council in 2010, that usurped the mandated water-saviours and brought New Zealand into increasing fragmentation and shame.

The city foundations have been in free-fall ever since: earthquakes beneath destabilised aquifers have tragically restored substrate equilibrium here. 180+ people died, many were injured. Emergency law has suspended democracy. The national economy is suffering alongside every family.

We hope that you and yours are safe and well, and can join us here again to help Save Our Water grow within the global movement for water equity and peace – for all the world’s species and peoples – before it is too late.

More information is being added here regularly, so please do stay in touch by the comment box below. We are recovering our old web material for accountability and archival reasons, and to integrate the content into this new blog site.

versus:

the corporate power politics of the Fairfax non-Free Press Editorial: White gold “Water harvesting by way of dam construction will be controversial but is justified in the name of necessary compromise. Minimising the construction and paying rigorous attention to conservation means that both sides of the dispute get something out of the development… we are once again reminded of the need to ensure dairying has the best chance of weathering storms by maximising its sustainable production of milk” 27/09/2011 + Labour Time to focus on water quality betrayal 21/06/2011 + fraudsters Consensus for Hurunui and Waiau rivers 27/10/2011

This wonderful youth art competition winner by Catherine Durden in 2007 articulates the same deep aphorism upon which our Save Our Water campaign brand was founded – after World Water Day, 22 March 2007 – “Save Water – Save Life” ~ Thank you for sharing
