News Article: Iwi and scientists collaborate to tackle water contamination and safeguard health
One project Te Niwha is supporting is the ‘Burden of Waterborne Diseases’ - led by the Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha (University of Canterbury’s) Associate Professor Tim Chambers and Connor Redmile (Ngāi Tahu) of Te Kura Taka Pini, the Ngāi Tahu freshwater group.
“We’ve been to the Ngai Tahu marae in our takiwā (district) and [are] training people up and completing drinking water tests, so they’ve got that power to do that themselves in the future,” Redmile says.
