Connect 1 - Why Water?

Picture your daily routine, in the shower, bathroom, then to the kitchen and maybe sit with a view of a garden. Water is available at the touch of a tap. Where did it come from where does it go?

Imagine this routine 5 years from now. What if water came from a mix of sustainable sources including: your rooftop, underground, desalination or from your own neighbourhood. Your shower and dish washing water goes back to your garden. The water from there eventually returns to the river and wetlands where it continues to sustain families of critters. As you take a short shower you think of the shady trees on cool streets where people today and in years to come can run, walk and gather. All of this made is possible because we value, embrace and carefully use our water.

It’s your job to help us ensure we have enough water in the future to support both people and nature to thrive. With the effects of climate change and increasing demands for water as populations grow, it’s more important than ever to care for this most precious resource.
