Water is a precious resource in Alice Springs that should be used wisely.
Alice Water Smart aims to preserve our finite groundwater source and secure the long term sustainability of Alice Springs. Many of us believe our water supply will last forever, as it is drawn from the ancient Amadeus basin. However our water is precious and must be used wisely.
We need to protect the life of the water source that helps us to maintain our unique lifestyle. We need to become Water Smart.
It is a two year project that will help Alice Springs residents to reduce water use by 1600 million litres per year, equivalent to two months average water supply.
Led by a consortium of government and community organisations, Alice Water Smart will help to drive smarter and more efficient use of water in homes, businesses, parks and gardens; and Alice Springs will become a role model for others to follow.
