Okana River- Lake Forsyth tributary


Photograph shows severe erosion and silt input. More care needs to be taken of the riparian margins of the Okana and Okuti Rivers- especially in there lower reaches, to contribute to an improvement in the water quality of lake Forysth- Wairewa. This photo taken in September 2008 shows how little has been done to look after a once much renown lowland waterway. With advocacy by myself and others some improvements have been made to fence out cattle but more needs to be done.
