National Water Week!
National Water Week, 16-9 October 2023, is about inspiring individuals, communities and organisations to build awareness around the value of water.
Access to clean water is hugely important to our daily lives, and it’s down to all of us to protect our water environments and resources and use water wisely.
Over the past couple of months, hundreds of students from across East Gippsland have been getting creative by entering the National Water Week Poster Competition with the theme ‘United by Water’.
