National Water Initiative

The National Water Initiative is an Australian framework aimed at managing water resources efficiently, fairly, and sustainably across the country. It promotes cooperation among states and territories to ensure water is shared equitably, supports healthy waterways, and encourages water conservation. The initiative sets out strategies for allocating water, protecting ecosystems, and improving water trading practices. Its goal is to balance economic development with environmental health, ensuring that water remains available for communities, industries, and ecosystems now and in the future.
