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.
Current funding
There are no currently open funding rounds for this program.
The $1.6 billion Program has funding over five years until 2010.
This program is targeted at large-scale projects. As a general guide, the minimum level of funding available through the program for a project is $1 million, and the maximum funding duration is four years. Nonetheless, highly relevant projects that seek less than this level of funding may be considered for assistance.
