The Government is pumping $8 million into an iwi-led scheme to install up to 1000 water tanks at vulnerable Far North homes and community facilities to head off future droughts.
The initiative was announced at

It comes after a series of almost annual droughts - Northland has had seven in 11 years - with summer 2019-20 particularly brutal for town supplies in Kaikohe and Kaitaia and families relying on inadequate rainwater tanks.
