A report released today
by an independent Commissioner for the Environment says
there is a direct link between expanding dairy farming
and increase stress on water quality.
But it's an issue that all NZers need to think about.
The report says that dairy farming is expanding
and with that, the water quality is affected.
Although farmers are doing what they can to mitigate the effects,
it still isn't enough.
And without more intervention, the country will continue to see
an on-going deterioration in water quality.
The Government says
it's on the right track to clean up the water
but it will take a while.
