Alice Springs Water Efficiency Study
NRETAS in partnership with Power and Water is working to help Alice Springs residents, businesses, and schools become more Waterwise.
Our research shows that Alice Springs residents want better, more cost effective solutions to stop wasting water. Installing more water-efficient fixtures, changing wasteful behaviours and repairing leaks not only reduces water bills but will also reduces the demand on the underground aquifers.
A detailed Water Efficiency Study for Alice Springs was commissioned in 2001 by the Department of Natural Resources Environment, the Arts and Sport (NRETAS) and Power and Water, in line with recommendations from the Alice Springs Urban Water Reference Group.
The primary objective of this study was to determine demand management measures suitable to achieve reductions in annual and peak day water use. The recommendations of the study are used to make decisions about water efficiency programs and conservation objectives.
All three stages of the study are available here for download.
