Merici College Green Tip #31 - ACT Healthy Waterways

Submitted by mericiadmin on October 15, 2019 - 12:14pm

This week’s Green Tip has been written by Imogen Simmons.

In Week 10 of Term 3, SAM had a guest speaker come in to talk about ACT Healthy Waterways and why it is important for Canberra to have healthy waterways.

So why is it important for Canberra to have healthy water?

The water in Canberra’s suburban creeks, wetlands and ponds mostly comes from stormwater and run-off from residential blocks, streets, retail and industrial areas. This water ends up in our lakes and rivers, largely untreated.

Merici College Green Tip #2- Where Does Your Water Come From?

Submitted by mericiadmin on September 18, 2019 - 12:33pm

When you turn on the tap, do you consider where your water comes from? Or goes to afterwards?

https://www.iconwater.com.au/Water-and-Sewerage-System/Water-and-sewerage-system.aspx

Prior to arriving at your tap, water goes through many stages. 

First it is collected through river catchments and makes its way to our dams, which store water before it is transferred to one of our two water treatment plants.
