Securing our water future in the Lower Great Southern
The Water Corporation has begun a planning study to investigate the water needs for the growing population of the Lower Great Southern to make this area more climate resilient. This will deliver a plan to address the challenges of a drying climate while minimising environmental impacts.
To meet these challenges, the Water Corporation will work with the community to:
- reduce water use
- increase water recycling; and
- develop new water sources.
A range of contingency plans are in place to secure the water future in the short term while we investigate more than thirty new water source options. We are also looking to develop and extend a range of water efficiency initiatives, while new recycling options are also being sought.
Soon we will be seeking your ideas and input into these approaches. This website will help to keep you informed about our progress. It will detail upcoming events, allow blog entries for your comments and provide access to relevant presentations and material.
