Australian Water Industry
The Federal Department of Environment and Water Resources has set up a number of initiatives in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of water. These include:
The Australian Government Water Fund
The Australian Government Water Fund is a $2 billion Australian Government program to invest in water infrastructure, improved water management and better practices in the stewardship of Australia's scarce water resources. The Fund supports practical on-ground water projects that will improve Australia's water efficiency and environmental outcomes.

National Water Commission
The National Water Commission is responsible for helping to drive national water reform and advising the Prime Minister and State and Territory governments on water issues. The Commission is also responsible for managing the implementation of the National Water Initiative - the blueprint for national water reform - and implementing two programs of the Australian Government Water Fund - the Water Smart Australia program and the Raising National Water Standards program.
