Next Week is World Water Week

World Water Week is being held 1-6 September 2013 and the theme is Water Cooperation - Building Partnerships. Hosted by the Stockholm Water Institute, World Water Week is a focal point for wold water issues and involves over 200 collaborating organisations with events, guest presentations and scientific workshops.  For all the details and events see www.worldwaterweek.org/


During World Water Week the International Finance Corporation will launch a catalogue titled Managing Water Use in Scarce Environments. The Water Directorate is very pleased that the Water Loss Management Program 2006-2011 will be included in this catalogue.


The WLMP was a very successful program that was jointly managed by Local Government NSW and the Water Directorate. It received $4.21 million in funding from the Federal Government through the Water for the Future initiative. The WLMP has saved over 6,000 ML of water through the implementation of water loss measures and the transfer of water loss knowledge to 75 local water utilities in regional NSW.
