Lucy McKergow spoke about an exciting opportunity for a paired catchment study to look at the effects of urban development on steams. Preliminary data collection has been undertaken to get "before" data for each catchment. #WaitiWaita

The scale of yesterday's flooding in Auckland may not be seen again for a long time. Please share your photographs on the NZFloodpics website nzfp.niwa.co.nz to help get a better understanding of where flooded #aucklandflood #nzflood #citizenscience

the flooding has been terrible but also an opportunity fr tamaki to prepare fr CC by planing a new kind of city amazon.com/Water-City-Pra…

Totally agree! Water sensitive urban design - working with nature, not trying to control it - is the only way.

Aucklanders please stay home unless you have to evacuate, seek support, or for essential travel. There is a lot of damage, unstable ground, precarious trees. We need to keep the roads clear for emergency response. More updates soon - STAY OUT OF THE WATER IT HAS POO IN IT

One problem with climate change is the clean up of its impacts just results in more carbon usage - wasted carpet, excess landfill, driers on 24/7 #aucklandflood

If we have learned anything from past behaviour of extractive industries like these, we should require a hefty bond up front and demand they have a clean up plan *before* they start, not after they have packed up and left a huge mess behind. stuff.co.nz/environment/13…

This is not going to end well
