Water
Water is fundamental to our lives. It supports agriculture, beverage and food production, industries like mining, energy and construction, essential services such as our schools and hospitals, right through to providing water for wetlands and sports grounds we enjoy.
In the driest state on the driest inhabited continent, we all have a role to play in managing water sustainably, now and into the future.
The Department for Environment and Water and regional landscape boards work together to manage our water resources. We need to understand the types of water resources we have, the quantity and quality of water, and how to manage these important resources across the long term.

River Murray
The River Murray is essential to South Australia – to irrigation, industry and households, from our regions to metropolitan Adelaide. Carefully managing how we use this resource is important so the river can sustain healthy environments and ecosystems as well our resilient industries and communities.
