Water for Life Education Program - educating the community and support water educators

Water education case studies

Education, along with community engagement, has an important role to play in supporting and encouraging everyone to play their part in being water wise.

One way to improve the projects you deliver is by utilising and sharing what others have learned from their projects.

The six case studies featured below all feature the common themes of water and education. Water is a scarce resource, and if we value it by using water wisely it will help us to ensure a more sustainable water supply, now and in the future.
