Rangitata River flood recovery work underway

“Emergency works were undertaken to retain ongoing and future flood flows within the main channel,” Griffiths said.
“Current works to address the immediate flood risk to the community include extension of the emergency embankments and construction of stopbanks and gravel groynes at the three breakout locations, and strengthening of existing rock stub groynes and construction of additional groynes adjacent to the Rangitata South Irrigation Ltd ponds.”
