Our major partner who manages all parts of Melbourne’s water cycle that are essential to our way of life today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.
But the impacts of climate change bring hotter and drier weather, more severe bushfires and unpredictable storms and floods, less rainfall over time, and, of course, the possibility of another drought. By 2030 over 6 million Melburnians will need water every day.
We are in the decade that matters when the actions we take now will define our future. That’s why at Melbourne Water, we are taking action to manage and protect the resources essential to our way of life.
From providing clean drinking water, treating sewage so we can recover and re-use our valued resources, planning to manage flooding, and keeping all 25,000km of Melbourne’s rivers, creeks and catchments healthy, we care for, manage and protect all parts of the water cycle for today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
