Waterwise programs
Climate change in Western Australia, combined with increased water demand due to population growth, presents significant challenges in managing and sustainably using our water sources. Through our Waterwise Programs, we collaborate with businesses, industries, and local governments to improve water efficiency, climate resilience and liveability.
Since 2007
We've been working with businesses and local governments in Western Australia to save water for over 15 years and saved over 100 billion litres of water.
To put this in perspective, this is more than double the amount of water produced by the Perth Seawater Desalination Plant each year.
