About
Welcome to the Waiau Soil Management Unit Project Portal This portal is a central hub for sharing updates, maps, and resources from the Soil Management Units (SMU) project in the Waiau Catchment. It has been created specifically for the Waiau catchment groups — including the Te Anau Basin, Orauea, and Lower Waiau — and for Thriving Southland, to stay informed and engaged as the project progresses. The SMU project brings together modern soil and landscape data, fieldwork, and expert input to support practical land management decisions across the region. From mapping and analysis to validation and guidance, the project is focused on providing useful, science-based insights tailored to local needs. As the project continues, this secure portal will be updated with: - Soil maps and technical outputs - Videos and summary reports - Key findings and recommendations - Contacts to provide feedback or ask questions Log in now to explore the latest project results and tools available for your catchment.
