We Can All Be Water Smart

Did you know that Australia is one of the driest inhabited continents on the planet? Despite Australia's water scarcity, we are also among the highest consumers of water per capita in the world.

Townsville continues to experience the impact of variable climate and uncertain wet seasons. For our city to grow sustainably into the future, it is important that we change our water use behaviours to ensure our water services meet future demands.
