Many local councils and some sporting groups have been working with irrigation specialists to improve irrigation techniques for watering of parks, gardens and ovals etc, significantly reducing water use.
Some community organisations have been reviewing water use within buildings and replacing old appliances with more water-efficient models.
Meeting the Challenge
|
Strategy 28: A voluntary water audit scheme already in place for industrial and commercial water users will be expanded to provide audits of large irrigation systems used for public and recreational purposes.
Completion date: Completed
Lead agency: SA Water |
Reports, progress and links:
A Turf Industry Task Force has been established and a Code of Practice for Irrigated Public Open Space has been developed. Each participating organisation has entered into an individual agreement to meet a specified water efficient target. The Code of Practice for Irrigated Public Open Space is available on the SA Water website. |
