Everyone has an interest in our fresh water. Those interests often conflict with each other, making water governance a difficult area. Elizabeth Eppel talks with Keri Mills about the challenges of water governance and one of Aotearoa’s innovative attempts at collaborative decision-making in this area: the Land and Water Forum.
