National Water Week 21-27 October 2012

National Water Week is Australia’s only national water awareness week. It is an annual event that aims to raise public awareness and improve understanding of water issues in Australia.

This theme for National Water Week 2012 is Valuing Our Water, and the event seeks to raise knowledge of the value of freshwater resources and to aid in developing a responsible approach to water usage so that we can ensure there is to be enough freshwater to meet the needs of future generations. AWA is coordinating activities amongst its members and other interested organisations to encourage community support for water week events, water-related activities and educational resources.
