Real-world water sustainability learning
Over the past 10 years, more than 7500 students and 40 schools have participated in That’s My Water! The program invites students and schools to work alongside Power and Water’s STEM professionals to address the issue of water security and sustainability in the Northern Territory. Feedback we've recieved suggests it offers students and teachers an outstanding educational experience, tailored to age and location.
Learning areas across science, geography, and art are brought to life with real world challenges that empower students to participate actively and enthusiastically in developing solutions for the future.
In 2026, our program has undergone an expansion, now delivering a fit-for-purpose program to ALice Springs region. Another exciting addition to the suite of resources is a virtual tour of the water story in both Darwin and Alice Springs. It's certainly the, time to be getting involved with That's My Water!

Tailored to the Alice SPrings water story, the 10-week program helps students discover where their water comes from, how it travels to their homes and school, what happens to wastewater, and why using water wisely is so important in Central Australia.
Through curriculum-aligned activities, videos, virtual experiences and real-world insights from Power and Water professionals, students explore the science and systems behind the essential water and wastewater services that support their community.
A new virtual reality experience brings the local water story to life, taking students on the journey from the Roe Creek Bore Fields to Alice Springs' elevated water tanks and providing an immersive look at how water makes its way from source to tap.
The program also supports teachers with locally relevant resources and professional learning, helping bring STEM to life in the classroom while encouraging students to think about the role we all play in protecting one of Central Australia’s most precious resources.
Please note: We are currently delivering this as a pilot program to interested schools for years 3 and 4. If you would like to get involved, please email us at savewater@powerwater.com.au

Darwin school students help to save more than 18 million litres of water thanks to That’s My Water!
Tuesday 5 November 2024
Students from schools taking part in Power and Water’s 2024 That’s My Water! program have been putting their new knowledge to good use, identifying leaks at their schools that helped save a staggering 18 million litres of water over Term 3 alone.
Among the participating schools, students from Leanyer, Larrakeyah and Alawa primary schools as well as Dripstone Middle School, have become water-saving super sleuths – uncovering everything from leaking toilets to a major irrigation pipe failure and resulting in their combined efforts totalling 18 million litres of water saved.
