Australia has forever faced the challenge of sustainably managing its limited water resources, continually balancing the need to provide safe, secure and affordable water to both households and industry in variable climatic conditions. It is through these challenges that the Australian water, construction, food and beverage, and agricultural industries have become world leaders in the development of innovative solutions for water and wastewater management to make practices more efficient and effective.The Australian Water Association Water Innovation Programme is a platform to share water innovation across industries, providing a showcase of best practice solutions that can be adopted in other sectors.

One good idea has far reaching consequences.
