Australian Water Resources Policy

The Australian Water Resources Policy guides how water is managed across the country to ensure sustainable use, conservation, and fair distribution. It aims to balance environmental needs, economic activities like farming and industry, and community access. The policy promotes integrated planning, efficient use, and protection of water resources, considering Australia's variable climate and frequent droughts. It encourages cooperation among states, territories, and stakeholders to safeguard water for current and future generations, ensuring water remains a reliable and healthy resource for ecological, economic, and social well-being.
