Water

As one of the driest regions in the world, South Australia has had to think and work innovatively and efficiently to meet the water requirements of its communities and industry.

The State now has a niche sector of water-related businesses that develop water management systems and collect, treat, distribute and recycle water for local, national and international markets.

With world demand for water increasing, and Australia continuing to endure drought conditions, opportunities exist for investors to work with South Australian companies in developing world-class water management systems to combat specific conditions and challenges.

South Australia’s Water Industry Alliance is a group of more than 250 companies exporting their products and expertise to clients around the world.

Water research and development is carried out in South Australia by the national Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Water Quality and Treatment, the South Australian Water Corporation’s Australian Water Quality Centre (AWQC), Adelaide University and the University of South Australia.
