From providing clean drinking water, treating sewage so we can recover and re-use our valued resources, working within our community to reduce flood risk, and keeping all 25,000km of Melbourne’s rivers, creeks and catchments healthy, we manage all parts of the water cycle that are essential to our way of life today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
Rain, storms and floods are a natural part of life in Melbourne but can have a big impact on our way of life. The impacts of climate change bring more unpredictable weather and as our city grows more buildings and streets are built. As a result, we’re facing more challenges than ever in ensuring that rainfall that falls on the ground and flows through the landscape is safely carried away from built-up areas into rivers and creeks. That’s why at Melbourne Water, we manage a complex drainage system across the whole city and plan for the impacts of stormwater on our iconic rivers, creeks and our bays. We also work within our communities, building their resilience and preparation for flooding events. Keeping our communities, rivers and creeks and the native wildlife that also call Melbourne home safe is essential to our way of life today, tomorrow and for generations to come.
