Freshwater engagement
We are focused on restoring and protecting our rivers, lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies. We are reviewing regulatory and service delivery arrangements for drinking water, wastewater and stormwater services.
We have begun a public consultation on proposed changes to the National Environmental Standards for Sources of Human Drinking Water (NES-DW). We are holding a series of webinars to talk about the proposed changes and answer any questions.
Please select the webinar that is most relevant to you from the links below.

As part of these events we look forward to answering any questions you may have about these proposed changes.
Send your questions in advance to nesdw.consultation@mfe.govt.nz.
Please reference “Questions for webinar” and the webinar you’ll be attending in the subject line. We also encourage you to make a formal submission via the online consultation survey. Your feedback will be used to refine our proposed changes to the NES-DW.
