Melbourne Water organisation is owed by government that plays an important role in providing water in Melbourne. Since 1890, they have built a groundwater system that spans all around Melbourne and big water supply reservoir in 1984.
Still now, Melbourne water has been developing as one of the top ten successful Government organisations in providing a professional services following in the CSR system.
In addition to ensuring adequate water supply to the community each year, they must also ensure the protection of the environment as well as ensuring that the river system and underground water are not contaminated. However, it is important to be able to both protect water and sources to ensure water supply.
In this day and age, there is

Therefore, Melbourne water has been developing as one of the top ten successful Government organization in providing a professional services following in the CSR system. They have some improvement inside their company and would be effect to community:
They provide a safe and enjoyable working environment for staff. (e.g. human rights of workers, product safety)
They provide a constructive and supportive culture that give support their people to develop and make the most of their diverse talents. (e.g. religion/spirituality in the workplace)
They have been developing a learning organisation with a focus on continuous improvement, innovation and knowledge sharing (e.g. training).
They found that developing the values of deciding and organising the operation professionally would be of utmost benefit to customers, employees, shareholders, and suppliers. Beside Melbourne water has partnered with industry partners as AGL Ltp, which generates electricity from biogas to help the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, research organisations such as the CSIRO and Co-operative Research Centers, engineering consultants, and contractors who carry out tasks ranging from inspecting and maintaining assets to catchment surveillance and litter
Theatre as a unique, live art form does not only consist of theatrical performances that tell stories, but are significant as to how they cover certain topics that portray issues within the world. Because of this, theatre is an art form that can be used as a platform to discuss and bring awareness to issues that affect one’s community. The play, In the Red and Brown Water by Tarell Alvin Mccraney follows the upcoming of age story of Oya, a young African-American woman, that struggles to find her true self and identity within the projects of San Pere, Louisiana. With the presence of Yoruban tradition, In the Red and Brown Water explores the themes of poverty and racial injustices among minorities through the distinctive use of design clues,
The water that supplies Western Australia comes from a variety of sources, including surface water and groundwater. Recent technologies have emerged which allow WA to use water sources that were previously unusable, such as desalinated ocean water and recycled wastewater (Government of Western Australia, 2012). The scale for this report is the state of Western Australia. This scale will allow for analysis of more elements of water consumption in Perth and its surrounding areas, not just the city’s consumption of water, but consumption from other key industries that fuel the economy of Perth and WA, including mining and agriculture.
Since water is becomes such a sought after resource, steps need to be taken on the sustainable/conservation front. The authors in “A Sustainable Decision Support Framework for Urban Water Management“(Pearson) say that three main ideals need to be the basis for sustainable decision making “1. Knowledge transfer for transformation; 2. Monitoring and evaluation of the decision process; and 3. Stakeholder engagement.” (Pearson). These ideals make sense because within each step the knowledge of sustainability is increasing. A sustainable water infrastructure will be much easier to accomplish if the public opinion supports sustainable practices. With overwhelming public support, bills and regulations can pass with less
If this carries on at the current rate, Australia will not have a sustainable water supply. On a global perspective, according to the researchers from institutions such as ‘Vermont Law School’ if people keep using water as much as they are there will not be enough water to sustain the world in
This is because only a small part of the population, particularly in developing countries, have access to water of acceptable quality. It is estimated that in some countries only 20% of the rural population has water of satisfactory quality. Based on these statistics, it is clear the urgent need for awareness about caring for water use. Almost without realizing it, we are seriously jeopardizing this essential resource, not for us but for our children's children and their generations, aware that in other parts o...
Background: North Australia is considered to have major expense of the continent of catchments and intact river frameworks (Pusey 2011). Pressure on river systems globally and water crisis in South Australia has inspired interest in river health and Northern water resources of Australia. The shortage of information about tropical river frameworks is instantly clear to policy makers, industries and society groups with a concentration in water resource growth. Since 2004, in an endeavour to offer knowledge to direct recent and future policy and decision-making, study units like Land and Water Australia and government agencies like National Water Commission have initiated researches and supported research consideration and growth priorities and needs (Jackson and O’Leary 2006; Toussaint 2010). In spite of being large landowners and exhibiting a major fraction of regional societies, indigenous people have traditionally been marginalized from decisions related to water resource.

It might be easier to live a healthy life for many people, but for others it can be very challenging. I have tried to be healthy so many times, but I always fell off the wagon. For many days I would “feel” healthy, but in reality I was not the healthiest person mentally or physically. I knew that I had to change my behavior, and become healthier (or at least almost healthy) if I wanted to live a longer life. I began my journey by drinking more water, balancing my eating with exerting, all while trying to stay mentally well.
There are many types of pollution. The main types of pollution are water, air, soil, thermal, radioactive, noise, and light. The topic for this experiment is Water Pollution. Water Pollution became a problem in the 1900’s when water started being treated like sewage. Earth Day was founded by United States Senator Gaylord Nelson on April 22, 1970 because of 1900’s pollution. Water Pollution also affects humans and animals. There was a Cholera outbreak in 1854, before water pollution became a problem, and a Typhoid outbreak in New York from 1900 to 1915. There are multiple possible causes to Water Pollution. Humans let out chemicals into the environment, and when some of those chemicals
„X Encourage household water security by making enough water of adequate quality available year-round to ensure family survival, health and productivity, without compromising the integrity of the environment.
Clean and safe drinking water resources are becoming scarce as the population grows. The world is facing many problems, but the most important thing needed to survive, is water. Water is getting low in many countries, therefore residents are suffering the misfortune of not having the reliable source of clean water. Today many countries are having water shortages meaning rivers, lakes, streams and groundwater are not enough to rely on for supplying water demands. For example, California is facing a drastic water shortage, the natural water resources are not enough to fulfill their water demands.
Water is our main source of our life. We need it to live, drink, bathe,
Water is the most important resource on our planet. The causes of not protecting will be very dire because, water like most things on this planet isn’t endless. We must conserve the drops of precious water we have and protect it, because at the end of the day we can’t afford not to protect it.
Wastewater is the combination of water-carried or liquid wastes starting in the sanitary conveniences of dwellings, industrial or commercial facilities. In addition to this, surface water, groundwater and storm water may also be present. It is any water that has been badly affected in quality by anthropogenic influence. It contains waste from residential, industrial and commercial processes. Municipal water contains industrial wastewater, sewage and gray water. Gray water is the water from sinks and showers. Large industries also produce wastewater.
Less than 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water.
