NSW councils are on their way to saving 10,000 mega litres of water by July 2010 thanks to a $22m joint initiative of the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW (LGSA) and the NSW Water Directorate.
The Water Loss Management Program, which is also partly funded by the Federal Government’s Water Smart Australia Program, encourages local water utilities to adopt innovative and practical water-saving solutions.
The WATER FOOTPRINT network was launched at the Corporate Water Footprint Conference, in London (UK). The Network aims to develop and apply the ‘Water Footprint’ to support the transition to sustainable and equitable water use and management globally, including how much intrinsic water is locked up in meat, grain and other foodstuffs produced by humans.
