The Hawke's Bay Regional Council is warning if more recovery funding doesn't come soon efforts to clear the immense level of silt in the region could stall.
So far, around 900,000 cubic metres of silt around Hawke's Bay has been moved.
Council Chair Hinewai Ormsby says finding funding for the regions silt recovery taskforce is a top priority, and the work is far from done.
Silt Recovery Taskforce lead Darren de Klerk spoke to Corin Dann.
