It might be Landcare week, but for Melbourne Water every week is, thanks to its ongoing commitment to the restoration, enhancement and protection of the environment, benefitting the community and native wildlife on the land and off.

The annual National Science Week 2023 is a celebration of science and technology, and an opportunity to recognise the outstanding scientific achievements that are happening around Melbourne Water.

To mark National Science Week, we recognise Waterwatch Coordinator Naomi Dart, who is taking critical steps to reduce waste overflow and windblown litter into nearby waterways as part of our Platypus Program.

To mark National Science Week, we recognise Waterways and Wetland Research Manager, Rhys Coleman, who is working with smart technologies to meet the challenges of a drying climate and the demands of a growing population.

Melbourne Water is taking urgent steps to improve the health of our waterways and catchments to boost populations of threatened wildlife and safeguard greater Melbourne’s unique biodiversity.

Melbourne Water is helping to improve waterway health alongside Diamond Creek with smart Bigbelly solar bins – to track litter waste before it travels into our precious waterways.
