Water Smart Australia
Australia's water is a highly variable resource. Managing it sustainably and productively is one of the great challenges facing us as we move into the future.
There are many opportunities to make better use of supplies of water that we have already developed, to employ new technology and infrastructure, improve and refine management practices and to draw on better information.
The Australian Government's Water Smart Australia Program aims to accelerate the development and uptake of smart technologies and practices in water use across Australia. The program also assists to advance the implementation of the National Water Initiative , Australia's enduring blueprint for national water reform.
Current funding
The $1.6 billion program has funding over seven years until 2011.
