Pukaki Stormwater Wetlands

Pukaki Stormwater Wetlands are naturalized areas designed to treat and manage stormwater runoff in Pukaki. They use vegetation, soil, and flowing water to filter pollutants from runoff before it reaches lakes and rivers, improving water quality and protecting the environment. These wetlands help reduce flooding, support local wildlife, and enhance ecosystem health by mimicking natural processes in a controlled landscape. They are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional drainage methods, combining water management with habitat creation for birds, insects, and plants.
