The purpose of our project was to create a set of recommendations to improve water quality in Wellington, New Zealand. We accomplished this by interviewing water quality experts in Wellington as well as Massachusetts, U.S, and reviewing successful water quality management practices implemented in Massachusetts and beyond. Our research identified areas of critical need and potential intervention in Wellington. Our recommendations include possible communication strategies needed to make the proposed technical solutions more effective within the context of Wellington.
