The Smart Water Fund today announced the availability of $2 million in grants to help find smarter ways to conserve Victoria’s water supplies.  

The Smart Water Fund is calling on businesses, community groups, research organisations and individuals with innovative water conservation, water recycling and biosolids management ideas to apply for funding.

“With Melbourne’s water storages just over 30 per cent full and water restrictions in place across much of Victoria, there is an ongoing need to find innovative, smarter ways to conserve water,” says Shaun Cox, spokesperson for the Smart Water Fund.

“The Smart Water Fund is seeking innovative projects that will help address the challenges posed by drought and climate change to our water resources”.

“By focussing on new or previously unexplored ideas that improve on current practices, the Fund aims to generate knowledge that can then be used by the whole community to improve water sustainability,” Mr Cox said.
