National Water Week
National Water Week makes a splash across Australia each year by inspiring communities and organisations to work together on water issues and future fixes.
National Water Week reminds everyone that water must be used wisely – and celebrates water innovation and achievements supporting Australia's sustainable future.
Every year National Water Week focuses on a broad theme allowing all tribes to participate. This year's theme is an invitation to all to share their Water Stories.
Water covers three-quarters of our planet and makes up two-thirds of our bodies. We thirst for it and bathe in it. It's used by communities, industry and agriculture for health and liveability, the environment, Aboriginal cultural access, manufacturing and production of food and other produce. Water is an essential resource needed for economic prosperity wherever you live.
