Study finds young children are worrying about water

Education experts Professor E Jayne White and Dr. Ngaroma Williams (Te Arawa | Ngāti Raukawa ki Wharepūhunga|Ngāti Awa) from Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC), with a wider team of researchers, studied children's representations of water in three early childhood education sites close to local waterscapes—an estuary, the ocean, and a river. They wanted to understand children's perspectives on what was happening to these waterscapes.
