Previously Smart Approved WaterMark, but now rebranding to The Water Conservancy. With a broadened remit, The Water Conservancy are committed to making Australians aware of their water use so they conserve more and waste less.
Visit the new website and watch The Water Conservancy video to find out more about what we do and why.
Recent highlights
- By understanding Australian attitudes to water, we have built a robust foundation for our strategy. Our newly published ‘Billions of Water using Minutes’ research is a great example.
- Australians are on auto-pilot using water at home, by becoming aware of how often they reach for their taps we inspire them to waste less. Water Night has raised water awareness and improved water literacy amongst participants 2 years running. Read the 2021 evaluation - hot off the press
- Like many of you, we are committed to empowering the next generation of water users. That’s why Walter Smart and Friends, our inspirational and interactive primary school program, is currently on tour in Tasmania, sponsored by Taswater. Read case studies from Dubbo Regional Council and Unitywater.
- Our work is not limited to households, we’re proud to work with business water users to facilitate fast, achievable and large-scale operational water savings. Check out the work we did with DPIE in regional NSW and with water efficiency audits in Tamworth.
Increasing everyone’s perceived value of water is key to conserving more and wasting less. We want to work more with you and your communities to achieve that. Please contact Chris Philpot chris.philpot@thewaterconservancy.org for more information.
