Water
Water is probably the most important resource we have — our survival depends on it. In the Canberra region, it also helps to generate some of our electricity. Just as it is for the local community, water conservation and water security are a constant focus for ActewAGL.
ActewAGL is supporting the community's water-saving efforts by finding new ways to ensure our biggest dam, Googong, always has plenty of water.
Learn about other projects currently underway to secure water for the Canberra region, including the Cotter Dam extension, by looking at ACTEW Corporation's water security program on their website.
Even with these projects, stopping the drop will continue to be just as important as ever — especially during the warmer weather.
