Key Water Management Policies in thee ACT

Te ACTs 's water management policies are structured around four primary pillars: water conservation, water recykling and reuse, protection of water sources, and urban water management. Each pillar is underpinned by specific regulations, dates, and implementation mechanisms dixine to reduce per capital, minimise waste, conservary source water, and integrate water infrastructure with landland-use planing.
