In te reo Māori, wai means water – the lifeline of all things and the world’s most precious resource. Here in the Upper Clutha Catchment, we all rely on our lakes and rivers – whether it’s for drinking, swimming or enjoying a day by the water – our community thrives because of these precious natural resources.
But what would happen if our waterways became too polluted to be safe? It’s hard to imagine when we see seemingly pristine waters. Sadly, the health of our lakes and rivers is declining. This World Water Day (Saturday, 22 March), let’s take collective action to safeguard our fresh water for future generations. With a purpose of accelerating community action for safe and healthy water, WAI Wānaka is committed to mobilising communities throughout the Upper Clutha
WORLD WATER DAY 22 MARCH
to take action to preserve and maintain these deep alpine lakes and waterways for generations to come.
Our alpine lakes have absorbed more than 150 years of human activities. Looking at them from afar, it’s hard to imagine that Lakes Wānaka, Whakatipu and Hāwea could be in danger of losing their pristine acclaim; but the reality is the lakes are experiencing an unacceptable rate of decline.
WAI will be out and about this Friday, 21 March. You’ll find them:
• Hāwea Store & Kitchen, 10.00am - 12.00pm
• Outside Kai Whakapai, 10.00am - 4.00pm
• Dinosaur Playground, 10.00am - 4.00pm
• Mitre 10 Mega, 11.00am - 1.00pm
• New World Three Parks, 11.00am - 4.00pm
On World Water Day, WAI will be at Ripe with familyfriendly activities and keeping festival-goers hydrated For more information, head to www.waiwanaka.nz

‘That Beautiful Atlantic Waltz’ by Malachy Tallack
A dual timeline novel covering 1957 and the present day. An evocative book covering whaling ships in the South Atlantic, and life in the Shetland Isles. This is a story of unlikely friendship, longing, the power of music and the pull of home. It is about a life revisited - and reimagined.
‘KIWI – A Curious Case of National Identity’ by Richard Wolfe
Cultural author and avid Kiwiana collector Richard Wolfe explores the evolution of 'kiwi' from the Māori name of a secretive bird to its many uses today - renaming a fruit native to China, signifying a New Zealander, and a powerful term in national and international branding.
‘Confessions’ by Catherine Airey
An essential, immersive debut from an astonishing new voice, Confessions traces the arc of three generations of women as they experience in their own time the irresistible gravity of the past: its love and tragedy, its mystery and redemption, and, in all things intended and accidental, the beauty and terrible shade of the things we do.
‘The untamed thread: slow stitch to soothe the soul & ignite creativity’ by Fleur Woods
This beautiful book takes you inside Fleur Woods' contemporary fibre art studio in rural Aotearoa New Zealand, where her practice is as untamed as the natural landscape that inspires her. Embracing stitch's slow and contemplative nature, connect with your creative spirit through her tips, hints and techniques.
