Auckland drought: Growing alarm about demand for water as dry conditions continue

Danielle Clent Reporter from Manukau Courier

Hi neighbours, the demand for water in Auckland is causing increasing concern, with one river at the lowest level it has been in nearly 40 years.
Water company Watercare said Auckland's water use is "skyrocketing" and people need to think before they turn their taps on.
Last week, previous water use records were broken three times, with the largest volume of 568 million litres used on February 19.
How have you reduced your water use this summer?

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
