Freshwater Ecologist Dr Mike Joy from Victoria University in wellington was interviewed by thisquality Founder Sam Hudson on the up and coming Government ‘3 Waters' agenda.
Dr Mike Joy has studied freshwater ecology, while also gaining a pHd and masters in freshwater ecology from Massey University; after teaching there for twenty years.
He was asked whether the Government had proposed an idea to set up a new water regulator called Taumata Arowai — further questioned why it is being set up.
