National Water Week 21 – 27 October 2012

National Water Week was celebrated during October in each State and Territory across Australia.

Goulburn Valley Water, in partnership with other local water and natural resource management authorities, organised free events, competitions and activities for school students and members of the community. The week's celebrations helped to raise awareness of the need to value and conserve water as a precious resource that brings life and prosperity to our region.
