Detainment bund field day

Detainment bunds can help reduce the impacts of floods and support improved environmental outcomes. Anyone wanting to know more about these structures are welcome to come along to a field day at Hodderville Farms Events Centre, Old Taupo Road, Waotu on Tuesday 17 February starting at 11am. Speaker John Paterson will talk about how he developed the Detainment Bund to effectively intercept and treat stormwater runoff farm farms. Register by emailing ​[email protected]​ to register. This project is supported by B+LNZ.
