Water quality and supply

The Northern Territory is currently using more water than can be captured and supplied in the long term.

This means we all need to reduce our water use, so we can extend the availability of our water resources for the dry season.

The 2 biggest areas of water use in the Darwin region are:

  • home gardens
  • water wastage through leaks.
