Waianiwaniwa River
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Waianiwaniwa River is a river in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand.[1]
The source is in the foothills of the Southern Alps and it is a tributary of the Selwyn River. The Central Plains Water Trust is seeking approval to dam the river for a contentious irrigation scheme. The Central Plains Water Enhancement Scheme is opposed by environmental groups such as Fish and Game and Forest and Bird, and by the locally-based Malvern Hills Protection Society.
