Being Waterwise

This important series explores the importance of water for life and living in Australia, and how we can maximise its preservation through responsibly but practical actions.

Water is Australia’s most important natural resource. Yet each year Australians use enough water to fill up Sydney Harbour nearly 50 times! Australia is the driest inhabited continent and climate change is making it even drier. Yet our need for water increases as our population grows. This informative series provides both water facts and investigates how we can act individually and together to protect our water supply for the future.

Special features:
• ‘Water fact’ – amazing water facts and figures
• ‘A closer look’ – water case studies
• Flow-chart diagrams of water-related processes
• Photographs and diagrams that explain water-related processes.
