Water management
Meridian works closely with a range of stakeholders to balance the different economic, social, cultural and environmental implications of water use in New Zealand.
Land and Water Forum
We are a member of the national Land and Water Forum.
The forum includes primary industry groups, environmental and recreational non-government organisations, iwi and other interested parties and helps to inform the national government water policy.
Canterbury Water Management Committees
We also work with the Canterbury Water Management Committees.
The committees work to harmonise a range of different regional priorities, from hydro electricity generation and irrigation, to cultural, recreational and environmental interests.
Meridian is involved in both the regional committee and local zone committees which together are responsible for implementing the Canterbury Water Management Strategy.
