The Challenge

Only a tiny portion (0.3%) of water on Earth can actually be used for human consumption. The number of people living in our region is growing all the time and we tend to use more water than people living in other Australian cities.

If we don’t change the way we use water we may not have enough water for everyone who lives here in the next 20 years.  

Everybody has a role to play at home, at work and school at school.
