Water

We live in the driest state on the driest inhabited continent on earth. South Australians truly feel the effects of water shortages, drought, climate change and a growing population.

To ensure that we cope and in fact prosper under these conditions, it’s essential that we use water sustainably now and forever.

In order to use our water sustainably, we need to understand the types of water resources we have, the quantity and quality of the water, and how we’re managing these resources for the long term.
