The Mataura drain
I saw this letter to the editor in the Southland Times recently and thought it was worth sharing:
To save ourselves the worry and effort of cleaning up our Southland rivers, we just need to think about them in a new way. Let’s call them drains, not rivers - the Aparima drain, the Oreti drain, the Mataura drain.
Problem solved. No more polluted rivers in our region.
