The Australian Government partners with state and territory governments and research organisations to invest in National Water Grid (NWG) projects that protect our most precious resources and ensure the best use of our limited supplies.
The National Water Grid Fund (NWGF) is our primary water infrastructure investment program to improve access to safe and reliable water.
State and territory governments remain responsible for allocating, regulating, planning and managing water resources and infrastructure.
Through close collaboration, we help deliver projects that increase and support:
- water security
- climate adaptation
- economic resilience
- environmental sustainability
- cultural heritage.
We acknowledge that First Nations communities have managed land and sea Country for more than 65,000 years. It’s important we draw on this knowledge to help inform water infrastructure projects.
