This resource has been created by SA Water and provides students with easy to use resources such as information sheets, short videos, tasks and questions. These allow students to explore the processes of water treatment in South Australia and some of the challenges our water treatment system faces. The website is easy to navigate and students can pick 1 of the investigations to pursue in more detail.

For teachers
Teachers can adapt the resources on this website site to suit students individual studies. Teachers can guide students to explore South Australian water treatment and monitoring challenges and the examination of water as a valuable resource.
Teacher notes
This resource can be included as part of a larger study of ‘Water in our world’ as part of the year 8 geography curriculum. The scope can be shaped so students juxtapose our systems and challenges with the systems and challenges of other countries in our region who have less developed water treatment processes.
