NEW RESOURCE: The Coetanger River Catchment materials

POSTER and BOOKLET available for loan.

The fictional Coetanger River Catchment illustrates some examples of the ways water and wastewater may be managed; the booklet which accompanies the poster explains how and why they came about. The scenarios include options for water management that already exist and others that will be available in the future. In the catchment there are examples of communities that have thought beyond the conventional. They have looked at the 'big picture' rather than parts of the water cycle in isolation from each other. They have made sure that the well-being of future generations will not be threatened by inadequate water quality and quantity. In other communities in the catchment the problems remain. They have a remarkable similarity to those that many of us are facing in our own real communities.


This booklet is part of the "We all use Water" education program, which has been developed by the Australian Water Association and the Sunshine Coast Environment Council as a Natural Heritage trust project.
