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.
