Water rally lobbies to strengthen safeguards for future generationsDEREK FLYNN/FAIRFAX NZ Blenheim Save Our Water rally organiser Frith Chamberlain says the protection of aquifers and fresh water supplies should be paramount for all levels of government. If water quality is a concern now, Frith Chamberlain worries what will be left for the people of tomorrow. She has organised the Save Our Water Blenheim rally for Tuesday, and says an environmental impact has been evident over her lifetime. The poor water quality of rivers was a concern of the rally and additional legislative safeguards were needed to protect water for future generations, Chamberlain said. The Blenheim rally was one of 20 to be held nationally by the New Zealand Water Forum on Tuesday.
