Water for the Future

Policy and programs

National Urban Water Desalination Plan projects sorted by state

The expanded stormwater harvesting program During the 2010 election, the government committed to expand the stormwater harvesting program. This commitment builds on the success of earlier stormwater harvesting and reuse grant rounds by making available an additional $100 million for a competitive grants round and two specific projects in South Australia (Waterproofing Eastern Adelaide and Waterproofing Greater Gawler).
