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
Mahimaru Marae, near Awanui, on Friday by Acting Emergency Management Minister Kris Faafoi.
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.
