Phase Three of this project has been funded by the Australian Government under the Raising National Water Standards programme, with Land and Water Australia contributing in-kind project management costs. The programme offers support for projects that are improving Australia’s national capacity to measure, monitor and manage our water resources across three strategic investment areas: advancing the implementation of the National Water Initiative; improving integrated water management across Australia; and improving knowledge and understanding of our water resources.
