Water use and efficiency

Sustainability action process

Each day we use water in our homes, schools, businesses and community. We live in an environment that has variable climate and rainfall which can affect our fresh water supply.

We can all use water more efficiently through different behaviours, technologies and systems.

Sustainability action process

The sustainability action process provides a scaffold for teachers and students to investigate real issues and needs. It supports authentic problem solving through active student participation.

The sustainability action process has five steps:

  • make the case for change
  • explore options for action
  • develop the proposal for action
  • implement the proposal for action
  • reflect and evaluate.
