Silverstream, a spring-fed lowland waterway near Kaiapoi, is the focus of ongoing efforts to improve water quality and reduce nitrate levels. In large quantities, nitrogen becomes a pollutant and can suck the life from rivers, make drinking water unsafe to drink, and reach levels toxic to life.

Chicken is a popular dish for many Kiwi families. But are you happy to pay the extra cost for free-range or organic chicken? If so, why do you fork out extra for it? Although buying free-range chicken might be an ethical choice for many, it's not necessarily any healthier than other chicken.
As part of a new Stuff series, we look at why chicken is so cheap to buy nowadays, what happens inside the barn, why chickens get so big and the use of antibiotics in chicken feed. To learn more about what happens to your chicken before you put it in your shopping trolley, click the links above.
