TasWater

Welcome to our learning resources, for everyone!

Are you a water guardian? We invite you to read our storybooks, find out about Tasmanian water and sewage treatment, where your water comes from, or access educator materials for water literacy lessons.
Water literacy is the knowledge of water and how it’s managed, and how people’s actions affect water.

TasWater has teamed up with native Tasmanian animal characters to inspire and educate the community about the importance of protecting and conserving our precious water resources.
