Making Room for Rivers - The NZ Rivers Group 2021 Conference is to be held in Lower Hutt | Te Awa Kairangi, from 27-29 April 2022 . With climate change predicted to bring more extreme floods and changing community values, there is pressure on river managers to look for alternative methods when providing flood protection. One such aspect is making room for rivers. Our conference this year will explore how to make this concept a reality through a series of invited speakers over 2 days to discuss examples from around the globe, as well as right here in our own backyard. There will also be a chance for you to share your stories through a poster session and an opportunity to get out in the field to see how it might work in the Greater Wellington region.
