This project seeks to address the sustainability and management of the natural resource of fresh water. Water is a limited resource. How we manage and utilize this resource does make a difference. Factors such as climate change have increased pressures on natural water resources, indeed every drop of water counts. With increasing developing and population growth greater emphasis on water conservation is necessary to ensure the availability of water for future generations. Future environmental sustainability hinges on the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the present generation who must be taught to better manage, protect and conserve our natural resources?especially water.

(Communities: Haynes Smith, St Johnston, Russel, La Guerite, Trafalgar, Buckley?s Estate, Buckley?s Site and Lime Kiln)
