The SA Government is working closely with the nursery industry and has introduced a range of ongoing community education initiatives to encourage the wise use of water in the garden.

Strategy 19: Water conservation programs will encourage the uptake of water efficient devices in household gardens. These programs along with the continuing trend towards smaller gardens will reduce domestic water use by 7000 ML per year by 2025.
Completion date: Ongoing
Lead agency: SA Water |

SA Water will update educational materials relating to outdoor water conservation and make these available on the SA Water website, including the promotion of Smart Approved Water Mark products and services.
A number of publications and fact sheets are available in pdf format, including:
The H2OME Rebate scheme has been introduced to encourage South Australian households to achieve greater water savings inside and outside the home. Rebates are available for approved water efficient products purchased on or after 1 November 2008. Home water audits are available from 1 January 2007. A Home Water Audit includes a comprehensive audit which covers the condition and efficiency of existing hot and cold water services, internal fixtures, stormwater and roof water run-off and collection.
