Nature Positive Water
The Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is the peak body representing the water sector in Australia - the water utilities, organisations or businesses that provide water and sewerage services across Australia and New Zealand. WSAA recently published 'Nature Positive Water', highlighting the varied ways water is critical to a nature positive future. We are thrilled that the Institute's emerging relationship with WaterNSW, and the Mulloon Rehydration Initiative, are highlighted in a chapter titled 'REGENERATING WATERWAYS AND RECONNECTING LOCAL WATER CYCLES':
"One of the initial aims of the partnership between WaterNSW and the Mulloon Institute is to improve the understanding of hydrology in waterway and landscape regeneration, and help drive innovation and scale in the practice of landscape rehydration in the Sydney catchment area. The partnership seeks to encourage communities working together and the shared benefits of improved landscape, waterway, and agricultural health." (p. 44).
Mulloon Institute would like to congratulate the WSAA on this informative and well-presented report: it is yet another promising sign that new cross-sector and cross-community strategies are evolving to support nature repair and holistic approaches to water stewardship.
