Description

Oral history project in response to Project Aqua, a proposed $1.2 billion hydro-scheme by Meridian Energy Ltd on the Waitaki River, announced in 2001.

The collection contains seven interviews with a cross-section of the community, including those for and opposed to the project, and others who played representative and negotiating roles.
