NATIONAL - Water Restrictions

Water restrictions are in place in cities and towns across the country. Many commentators and consumers have questioned the value of long-term water restrictions, asking why governments have not taken steps to alleviate the squeeze on supply. While governments have announced major investments to boost urban water supplies, the ongoing use of restrictions in major centres across Australia has prompted public debate on the role, effectiveness and costs of restrictions.

The National Water Commission is leading a national review of water restrictions to assist the states and territories to meet their National Water Initiative (NWI) commitments in this area. Through this project, the National Water Commission aims to gain a better understanding of the economic costs and/or benefits of water restrictions.
