Water resources management is about making sure we keep within our means and don’t try to use more water than the region can provide. To see our 25 year plan to balance supply and demand, download our Water Resources Management Plan.
It describes how we propose to maintain that balance by investing in demand management – metering and water efficiency for example – and developing new water resources.
Our plan tackles the challenges of regional growth and the effects that climate change and new environmental legislation will have on water supplies. It forecasts where in the region the margin between supply and demand is less than we need to be able to ensure future water supplies and how to restore the balance.
Our latest plan was published in February 2010 and will be reviewed every five years.
