Everyone knows we live in a particularly dry State.

In recent years we have faced the added pressures of a prolonged and harsh drought and we expect these conditions to become more frequent due to climate change.

To meet these challenges and ensure our State can continue to grow and prosper, we need a diverse supply of water. This is also important to allow us to reduce our reliance on the River Murray and other rain-dependent water sources.

Adelaide’s desalination plant at Port Stanvac is one part of the South Australian Government’s Water for Good plan to ensure sustainable water supplies for our future.
